Sky is planning to cut around 600 UK jobs as it slims down its technology team after the launch of streaming platforms.
The media giant has launched a consultation on changes affecting some 900 employees.
Around two thirds of those are expected to lose their jobs as a result, with staff working at sites in Leeds, Livingston and Osterley set to be affected.
Sky’s plans to simplify its technology and wider teams come after a significant period of investment in its TV platforms, broadband services and mobile infrastructure. The company now wants to focus on running its existing services.
The job reductions are understood not to be based on individual performance, and there will be opportunities to be redeployed to other roles within the business.
