Layoffs hit A&E Nets, ReelzChannel


December 12, 2008 A&E Television Networks and ReelzChannel have become the latest in a slew of media companies to hand out pinkslips this month. AETN, which includes A&E Network, History and Biography Channel, has laid off 20 staffers, including full-time employees in the digital-media division and a number of freelancers. ReelzChannel, meanwhile, has laid off 40-plus employees, mostly because network execs have decided to reformat the weekday movie-news show "Dailies" into roughly three-minute segments, tentatively titled "ReelzChannel Movie News," that will air at least once an hour seven days a week, starting in January.
