Comcast Plans Streaming Job Cuts, Mostly at Sky

Comcast’s NBCUniversal unit plans to reduce its workforce in its global streaming technology division. Most of the cuts are expected to affect Sky, Comcast’s European media subsidiary, with some also affecting U.S.-based NBCUniversal staff.

The company said the restructuring is intended “to ensure we have the right structure and resources in place for future growth.” The move comes as media companies reassess streaming costs and Comcast prepares to spin off NBCUniversal and Sky as a separate, publicly traded company.
