Warner Bros. Discovery’s CNN is planning to lay off hundreds of employees on Thursday, people familiar with the matter told CNBC. The cuts — which aren’t expected to affect CNN’s more recognizable names — will help the network lower production costs and consolidate teams, the people said. NBC News is also planning layoffs this week, according to people familiar with the matter, but the cuts will be well under 50, two of the people said.

Disclosure: NBCUniversal is the parent company of CNBC and NBC News.

5. Relegated

Shares of Electronic Arts were down 15% before the opening bell on Thursday after the company slashed its full-year guidance for bookings. The video game maker said it now expects to report about $2.215 billion in net bookings for the fiscal third quarter, down from its previous guidance of $2.4 billion to $2.55 billion. EA blamed the shortfall on underperforming games, specifically its soccer franchise which it said began to see a slowdown during the December quarter.

CNBC’s Samantha Subin, Alex Harring, Sarah Min, Jesse Pound, Kevin Breuninger, Kate Rooney, Jeff Cox, Hugh Son, Alex Sherman and Kif Leswing contributed to this report.
