The news channel CNN Brasil fired employees -reporters, producers, and technicians- in its Rio de Janeiro branch on Thursday, August 11, according to Poder360.
The network did not confirm the exact number of layoffs.
CNN Brasil has been on the air since March 15th, 2020. Currently, the paid news channel has newsrooms in São Paulo (São Paulo), Brasília (Federal District), and Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro).
It is not yet clear how the layoffs on August 11 will affect the operations of the Rio de Janeiro branch.
In March 2022, journalist Carla Vilhena resigned from CNN Brasil, where she worked for more than a year, and announced her hiring at SBT in April.
Presenters Alexandre Garcia and Caio Copolla also left the network, in September and October 2021, respectively.
