IN THE NEWS

Paramount Global said it is implementing “Phase Two” of its workforce reduction on Tuesday, and that by the end of the day 90% of planned layoffs will be complete. Paramount Global is in the process of being purchased by Skydance Media in a deal valued at about $8 billion. In August, Paramount unveiled a plan to slash 15% of its workforce in an effort to cut $500 million in costs. The first round of layoffs began shortly after that announcement – including the closing of its Paramount TV Studios and the departure of several high-profile executives – with company officials saying the reductions would occur in three phases. Among those affected by the layoffs were special correspondent and “CBS Saturday Morning” co-host Jeff Glor, according to reports.

DirecTV has agreed to carry an additional 10 channels from A+E Networks, with a wide range of curated programming and popular anchor series from A&E, Lifetime, and The History Channel. The new channels include: “Crime 360,” “Deal Zone,” “UnXplained Zone,” “Movie Favorites by Lifetime,” “Duck Dynasty,” “Cold Case Files,” “Modern Marvels,” “Tiny House Nation” “Ice Road Truckers” and “Ax Men.”

Ryan Murphy defended his Netflix series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” after Erik Menendez said it was inaccurate, adding that he found it “interesting” that Menendez issued a statement against the series without seeing the show, according to reports. Speaking on the red carpet for another new series he is debuting this month – “Grotesquerie” on FX – Murphy said that it is “really, really hard if it’s your life, to see your life up on screen.” Still, Murphy defended the series depiction of the brothers, who were convicted in 1996 of the shotgun murders of their parents and are currently serving life sentences, adding that the bulk of the film centers around the abuse they claim they were subjected to by their parents.

A Nevada federal court hearing that could determine the fate of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire has concluded but there is no word of its ultimate outcome. Rupert Murdoch has been attempting to revise the trust in which his interests in Fox and News Corp., will be split among his four oldest children in the event of his death. While the original trust calls for ownership in Fox and News Corp., parent of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, respectively, to be split evenly among the siblings, the elder Murdoch is looking to amend the trust to allow his son Lachlan, currently CEO of Fox and chairman of News Corp., to wield more power. According to Reuters, the other three children – Prudence, Elisabeth and James – could technically outvote the more conservative-leaning Lachlan on matters concerning the companies, setting the stage for future battles. Rupert Murdoch has proposed an amendment that would block the other siblings from interfering in how the properties were run, ensuring their conservative bent.

RedBird IMI purchased reality TV producer Efran Films, changing its name to Bright North Studios and naming former CNN chief and RedBird executive Jeff Zucker to its board of directors. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. This deal follows RedBird’s purchase of British TV and film producer All3Media for $1.45 billion from Warner Bros. Discover and Liberty Media.
