Since Arsenio Hall's groundbreaking show went off the air in the late 1990s, others have tried to diversify the late-night airwaves, with mixed results. Three new shows are tackling the issue again. Read more.
An E! Entertainment staffer told TheWrap Monday that the Comcast-owned channel had laid off an additional “eight or nine people,” all of them within the production ranks.
An official statement from the channel confirmed the additional cuts, but did not specify their breadth or departmental location.
“Like all production entities, Comcast Entertainment Group makes regular shifts in production staffing to meet ever-evolving programming objectives and show orders,” the statement read. “We will continue to produce new programming across all the networks in the most efficient way possible.”
This is just the latest round of cuts for Comcast, which is currently in negotiations to purchase NBC Universal from General Electric.
Last month, the company pink-slipped approximately 40 top-level staffers, mostly situated within E!’s sibling network, G4.

Job loss...Been there. Done that. Yep, still 'there'. My heart goes out to those still getting 'pinked'. We must stay strong!
For me, losing my job was one of those defining moments in life. I knew I had a choice: I could choose to lose my way (my mind) or rise to the challenge and follow what my Spirit tells me to do, always remembering that I am more than a
statistic on the news.
I'll share with you what I was told the day I got "set free" (laid off) from my job: "This is a new chapter in your life. WRITE ONE HELL OF A CHAPTER!" And I did just that! Will you?
So if you just need a break from the doom and gloom, let me send you the link to a FREE cover-to-cover book ownload...no strings attached, really!
