Disney to Cut Nearly 200 Jobs Across News and Entertainment, ABC News Hit Hard

Disney

Entertainment

ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks are laying off just under 200 employees, or roughly 6% of its staff, across news and entertainment starting on Wednesday, TheWrap has learned.

A majority of these cuts come from ABC News, where its employees are largely based in New York.

In line with the changes, ABC News Studios, “20/20,” “Nightline” and “Impact x Nightline” now fall under one leadership structure. ABC News’ digital, editorial and social teams are similarly now integrated within the news gathering, shows and owned stations units.

Additionally, the “Good Morning America”-branded shows have been consolidated into one under Simone Swink, while Seni Tienabeso was named VP of ABC News Live.

TheWrap has reached out to Disney and ABC News for comment.

The ABC News layoffs are just the latest in a rocky start for media jobs in 2025. Scripps also underwent cuts this week, while Indiewire let go of three top editors last month, Forbes cut 5% of its staff in late January and Vox was recently hit by its third round of reductions in just two months. The Washington Post and the Huffington Post also let go of employees last month.

In October, Disney laid off about 75 employees from ABC News and its eight ABC Owned Television Stations in another effort to cut costs.

Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter was first to report the cuts were taking place this week.
