   NBC News will lay off a slew of staff as a result of the COVID-   
   19 pandemic, Page Six is told.   
      
   On Tuesday, multiple outlets reported that its parent company,   
   NBCUniversal, planned to make widespread cuts at its operations   
   across the country.   
      
   Now sources tell us that some of those layoffs will be at NBC   
   News, which produces flagships including “NBC Nightly News”  and   
   the “Today” show. We’re told that just under 3 percent of the   
   workforce at the famed news division is being axed.   
      
   We revealed Tuesday that long-term producer Jackie Levin, who   
   helmed the 9 a.m. hour of “Today,” has accepted a buyout. She’s   
   leaving the network after 26 years.   
      
   The cuts will be made across “all aspects” of staffing, we’re   
   told.   
      
   A source said: “People are being told today — it’s what everyone   
   had feared. This is not an easy time for anyone.”   
      
   NBC reported Tuesday that the cuts across NBCUniversal will   
   affect less than 10 percent of NBCUniversal’s overall workforce   
   of 35,000 employees.   
      
   The layoffs will be company-wide, hitting broadcast and cable   
   networks as well as its movie studio and theme parks.   
      
   It’s been a rough time for all major media companies.   
      
   Disney has made staff cuts, and WarnerMedia is expected to start   
   cuts later this month, according to the Wall Street Journal.   
      
   An NBCUniversal spokesperson confirmed the layoffs and said they   
   were the result of company restructuring as well as the pandemic.   
      
   NBCUniversal and Disney have been hit harder than many media   
   companies because they also run major theme park businesses that   
   have been forced to close during the lockdown.   
      
   NBCUniversal, which is owned by Comcast, reported a 25 percent   
   decline in revenue for the second quarter. Disney said it took a   
   $1.4 billion hit due to coronavirus-related expenses. Bob Iger   
   has already returned.   
      
   NBCUniversal also implemented a pay cut for senior managers and   
   some well-paid employees in May.
