<p>Founded in 2005, Current TV is billed as the &#8220;the world&#8217;s leading peer-to-peer news and information network,&#8221; with shows &#8220;produced and programmed in collaboration with its audience.&#8221; The station broadcasts on cable and satellite networks in the US, UK and Italy.<br />
<a href="http://valleywag.com/5083435/current-tv-cuts-at-least-10"><br />
Valleywag reports</a> a tipster saying that the cuts are being referred to internally as &#8220;Bloodbath&#8221; but we have no official word from the company as yet. The 32 number also comes from Valleywag, with earlier reports suggesting it may have only been 10 people.</p>
<p>According <a href="http://industry.bnet.com/media/1000405/media-exclusive-layoffs-on-tap-at-current-tv/">to BNet</a>, the cuts were being made in Current TV&#8217;s San Francisco and Los Angeles offices, and the company may be planning to &#8220;drop its shorter UGC videos in favor of the more traditional 30 minute programs that have long dominated television programming across all channels.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> reports suggest the number is 60, but the net is 30 as Current TV has created 30 new positions</p>
