Tribune Layoffs: Screener TV to Shut Down, Television Without Pity Relaunch Scrapped (Exclusive)

Tribune Media will lay off several staff members and is shutting down the editorial side of its properties Screener TV and the planned relaunch of Television Without Pity, TheWrap has learned.

Screener will, however, keep its programming guide up and running.

At least 12 people got the pink slip on Wednesday, according to the individual. Josh Cogswell, Tribune Media’s chief product officer, will also be “stepping down,” according to an internal memo obtained by TheWrap (read it below).

“The overall sentiment was shock and surprise,” the insider said.

Television Without Pity, which was supposed be revived later this year, is also being scrapped, according to the individual.
