Warner Bros. Discovery has laid off “TCM Underground” programmer and host Millie De Chirico just before Christmas.
“Well, it’s been a great 18 1/2 years,” De Chirico wrote on social media Thursday, “but my job was cut in a company restructuring recently, which means tomorrow is my last day at TCM... Very grateful to anyone who supported my programming work over the years.”
The company, trying to service down a massive $50 billion in debt, is cutting staff and programming across the board, including nearly 10% of CNN earlier this month. It has also snuffed out most original scripted programming from TNT and TBS.
