PEACOCK PURGE: ZUCKER PLANS MAJOR CUTS HOPING TO SAVE MILLIONS

That's the headline atop the NY Post, describing how NBC's onetime "wunderkind," Jeff Zucker, is slashing costs at NBC and MSNBC. I guess that's what wunderkinds do it: they shrink the operation.

Admittedly, the Post is owned by the News Corporation, which also owns Fox News and Fox Business News, both rivals to NBC properties, but the story is either accurate or it isn't. We'll soon see.

Happy holidays, Peacockers!

If it's any consolation, all those getting the axe should know that it's nothing personal with them--this is all a part, the Cable Gamer has been reliably informed, of a long term effort to shape up NBCU before it is spun off by GE.
