Basically, in a latest memorandum passed on by Warner Bros, the company fired about 82 employees for 125 positions operating in various domains, comprising scripted, unscripted, and animation departments. These reports were being disseminated after the company declared to merge Cartoon Network Studio and Warner Bros. This means the channel will be broadcasted under the brand name of Warner Bros only.

To our fans: We're not going anywhere. We have been and will always be your home for beloved, innovative cartoons. More to come soon'' followed by some hashtags Cartoon Network tweeted.
