According to the Post, "up until now, CNBC has been spared cost-cutting efforts conducted by NBC, which announced a plan to trim $500 million in costs in October. At the time, NBCU President and CEO Jeff Zucker called for a 3 percent cut in expenses across departments."
Meanwhile, Viacom said it's cutting nearly 7% of its workforce, or 850 jobs, and freeze salaries for top managers. Viacom's cuts are intended to save $200 million to $250 million in 2009, according to The New York Times.
