Paramount Global is the latest media giant to cut hundreds of its staff Tuesday, according to CNN that first reported the news.
The cuts come after CBS, owned by Paramount Global, saw record-breaking advertising and sales during Super Bowl LVIII that drew in 120 million viewers, according to the NFL.
The internal memo obtained by CNN did not mention how many people would be affected by these cuts, but that number could approach 800 jobs, according to reporting from multiple outlets in addition to CNN, including the New York Times and LA Times.
Paramount Global's CEO, Bob Bakish, wrote in the new memo that these "adjustments" will help enable the company to "build momentum" and "execute strategic vision" for 2024.
The company's plan to reduce costs and grow revenue was hinted at in an earlier memo sent out on Jan. 25 that warned Paramount Global would reduce its workforce as a "path to earnings growth," according to CNN.
USA TODAY has reached out to Paramount Global for comment.
