Paramount Consolidates TV, Streaming Distribution Resulting in Layoffs

Paramount Global, a leading media conglomerate, is currently undergoing significant restructuring as it prepares for its anticipated merger with Skydance Media in 2025. The latest development involves the integration of the distribution team responsible for Paramount+ and Pluto TV streaming services with the U.S. TV networks distribution teams. This move aims to create a unified distribution team that is optimized for growth across the company’s portfolio.

According to a memo sent by Ray Hopkins, president of U.S. networks distribution at Paramount, this integration will lead to a few layoffs within the organization. While specific details were not provided by a Paramount representative, Hopkins expressed gratitude to the affected employees for their contributions to the company.

Hopkins’ role was expanded in October to include streaming partnerships and distribution, leading to the departure of Jeff Shultz, the chief strategy officer and chief business development officer of Paramount Global’s streaming division. The streaming distribution and business development team now reports directly to Hopkins.

As part of its cost-cutting efforts, Paramount has already implemented layoffs and restructuring measures, affecting approximately 2,000 employees in the U.S. The company aims to reduce annual costs by $500 million through these initiatives. Similarly, Skydance, in collaboration with Bain & Co., is targeting at least $2 billion in annualized cost synergies as it prepares to merge with Paramount.

The strategic realignment within Paramount Global reflects the evolving marketplace and positions the company for continued success in the years ahead. While these decisions were challenging, they are deemed necessary for achieving the organization’s goals in 2025 and beyond. Paramount remains committed to delivering quality content and services to its audience across various platforms, including CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount+, and Pluto TV.
