This 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.700 decision comes as the media and entertainment 00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:35.960 company confronts a significant decline in linear 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.240 television and what it describes as a dynamic 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.379 macroeconomic environment. In a letter to employees, 00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:47.039 Paramount's co -chief executives expressed gratitude 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.370 for their hard work, stating, These changes are 00:10:50.370 --> 00:10:53.269 necessary to address the environment we are operating 00:10:53.269 --> 00:10:55.889 in and best positioned Paramount for success. 00:10:56.789 --> 00:10:59.870 This announcement follows recent layoffs at other 00:10:59.870 --> 00:11:02.970 studios, including Walt Disney Company and Warner 00:11:02.970 --> 00:11:06.370 Brothers Discovery, amid ongoing industry challenges. 00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:11.129 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote 00:11:11.129 --> 00:11:15.029 of the day.
