LAYOFFS HIT MSNBC

Freelancers and per-diems are receiving early Christmas presents at all-news cable channel MSNBC -- after layoff slips are quietly passed around the network's offices!

"People are in shock over it," said one fired peacock.

Cut from payroll in recent weeks have been producers, line producers, tape producers, associate producers, segment producers and writers.

One insider describes the action as "rolling layoffs" as the network continues to struggle with its identity and its ratings.

"Look, we are making a profit, and the numbers are going up," said a network executive on Sunday evening, who asked not to be named. The executive refused to detail the exact number of people let go, but added, "The fact is, we are launching a new primetime schedule, and I think you'll see us hire new people for new shows."
