Jeff Glor Exits CBS News Amid Paramount Global Layoffs

The longtime anchor and correspondent leaves after 17 years as part of cost-cutting measures ahead of Paramount's merger with Skydance Media.

Jeff Glor, co-anchor of CBS Saturday Morning and former CBS Evening News anchor, was let go in the latest round of layoffs by Paramount Global.
Paramount Global is cutting 15% of its U.S. workforce, totaling around 2,000 positions, to save $500 million ahead of its planned merger with Skydance Media.
Glor's departure follows his 17-year tenure at CBS, where he held various roles including special correspondent and anchor for CBSN and CBS This Morning.
Other notable CBS News staff affected by the layoffs include environmental reporter Ben Tracy, senior consumer investigative correspondent Anna Werner, and reporter Roxana Saberi.
The layoffs are part of broader industry adjustments to accelerate streaming profitability and adapt to changes in traditional media landscapes.
