Restructuring and Other Related Charges Restructuring and Other Related Charges
There were no restructuring and other related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Restructuring and other related charges were $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, consisting primarily of severance and other personnel costs related to a restructuring plan (the "Plan") that commenced on November 28, 2022. The Plan was designed to achieve significant cost reductions in light of “cord cutting” and the related impacts being felt across the media industry as well as the broader economic outlook. The Plan encompassed initiatives that included, among other things, strategic programming assessments and organizational restructuring costs. The Plan was intended to improve the organizational design of the Company through the elimination of certain roles and centralization of certain functional areas of the Company. The programming assessments pertained to a broad mix of owned and licensed content, including legacy television series and films that will no longer be in active rotation on the Company’s linear or streaming platforms.
