ABC News and its local stations have laid off 75 employees as part of ongoing cost-cutting measures by parent company Disney. The layoffs, evenly split between ABC News and its eight owned local stations, are part of Disney's broader strategy to manage resources and reduce costs amid a challenging media landscape. ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic emphasized the need to adapt to the evolving media environment while maintaining high-quality reporting. No on-air talent or programming was affected by these cuts. Disney has been restructuring and reducing its workforce, having eliminated over 7,000 positions in the past year. The company aims to streamline operations and create sustainable, future-forward teams.
