Co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins wrote to staff this morning that they were aiming to achieve $500 million in annual cost savings, with layoffs a key component in hitting that target.

Paramount’s advertising division was targeted by a number of cuts last week. Over the course of the year, a number of high-profile execs have left the company and Paramount Television has shut down, with its shows moving to CBS Studios.

“Like the entire media industry, we are working to accelerate streaming profitability while at the same time adjusting to the evolving landscape in our traditional businesses,” the memo from the co-CEOs said. “In order to set Paramount up for continued success, we are taking these actions. Days like today are never easy. It is difficult to say goodbye to valued colleagues, and to those departing, we are incredibly grateful for your countless contributions.”
