Sky to cut 1,000 jobs in move towards digital
Sky is planning to cut about 1,000 jobs in the UK this year, as the media group moves towards more internet-based services. Sky currently employs about 26,000 people in the UK. The cuts announced on Tuesday represent about 4% of its workforce. A Sky spokesperson said: "Increasingly, customers are choosing Sky Glass and Sky Stream which don't require specialist installation, and that has led us to change the number of roles we need to deliver our services." Sky has been shifting its strategy since it was bought by the US media giant Comcast for more than £30bn in 2018. On Monday, Channel 4 announced plans to cut 200 jobs, about 18% of its workforce, as it focuses on digital services.
