CBS Saturday Morning is reportedly being cancelled as hosts Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson are broadcasting the final show.

However, there are confusions over whether CBS Saturday Morning is getting cancelled or not. There are reports that CBS Mornings Plus co-host Adriana Diaz may take over the role of host of CBS Saturday Morning, New York Post reported.

CBS Saturday Morning is aired from 7 am (ET) and 9 am (ET) on every Saturdays.

In long-awaited cuts just months after completing its $8 billion merger with Skydance, Paramount plans to lay off about 2,000 employees — about 10 per cent of its workforce. Paramount initiated roughly 1,000 of those layoffs in late October, according to a source familiar with the matter.


In November, Paramount also announced plans to eliminate 1,600 positions as part of divestitures of Televisión Federal in Argentina and Chilevision in Chile. And the company said another 600 employees had chosen voluntary severance packages as part of a coming push to return to the office full-time.

Paramount employees, who have been subjected to near-annual corporate reorganizations, have been bracing for layoffs for months. When Skydance announced its merger with Paramount last year, the company said it was looking for $2 billion in synergies, Wall Street argot for cost-cutting.

Successive waves of layoffs have become the new normal in Hollywood as executives merge companies and try to wring out billions in costs after those deals close. The specter of further cuts has been the talk of Hollywood in recent days as Ellison plans a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN, HBO and the Warner Bros. film studio.
