ITV Set To Make Dozens Of Layoffs


ITV layoffs could impact 200 staff at the 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office' network.

Deadline understands the number of layoffs at the Mr Bates vs the Post Office network could reach around 200, approximately the same as rival Channel 4 ‘s recent redundancy program, representing around 5% of ITVs staff base. A fortnight ago, ITV posted Q1 revenues down 7% as its studios division, which makes the likes of Love Island and The Voice, felt the impact of last year’s Hollywood labor strikes. Along with Channel 4, a number of British producers and VFX firms have also been feeling the dual strikes-recession pinch, and market contraction has set in as viewing continues to migrate to digital.
