Bosses at Newshub told PR company weeks ago of redundancies

Bosses at Three news told their PR company in January they were planning to make hundreds of news staff redundant but those staff were blind sided with the proposal at meeting called hurriedly this morning. Warner Brothers Discovery that owns the channel is proposing to mothball its 6pm bulletin, news website, AM show and its yet to be launched 7pm interview programme that was to be hosted by Ryan Bridge. The official end date is June 30. More than two hundred staff could lose their jobs if the proposal goes ahead. The company says ecomonic headwinds means the returns are down and the business is not financially sustainable in the long-term. Glen Kyne, the boss of Warner Brothers Australia/New Zealand, speaks to Lisa Owen.
