Al Jazeera America has cut staff and replaced most of its daytime lineup with an overseas newsfeed, the New York Post reports.
The network laid off six employees before the holidays. It had cut several dozen other jobs earlier in 2014, according to the New York Post.
The cable outfit told staff on Friday it’s canceling both its morning news report and "Consider This with Antonio Mora" at 11 a.m. It’s also scrapping its 4 p.m. news hour and pushing its 6 p.m. coverage an hour later to 7 p.m.
In addition, Ali Velshi, the host of "Real Money with Ali Velshi," and Joie Chen’s "America Tonight" are looking at less airtime — either shorter shows or fewer days per week.
Al Jazeera America has plugged much of the day with a news feed from its overseas sibling, Al Jazeera English, sources said. Several former employees told The Post they believe that was the plan all along.
