A redundancy program will commence for some members of the Children’s production department, based at TVQ, but it isn’t clear how many jobs are impacted.
In a note to staff Chief Content Officer and Executive Vice President, ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand, Beverley McGarvey, said: “We remain committed to creating and producing local children’s content, and we deeply value this team’s work. But our business strategy has evolved to include the development and production of more children’s drama programs.
