The broadcaster broke the news to shocked staff on Tuesday afternoon at their London headquarters.
Insiders have insisted that the move is not a cost-cutting measure, according to the Daily Mail.

The restructuring from the US-owned company has not been taken lightly, with bosses behind the scenes keen to ensure the department adapts to meet the changing behaviours of audiences.
The priority is to be 'faster, more flexible and more creative'.
Sky Sports News will continue to focus on breaking news stories and output will not be significantly altered.
The redundancies are limited to presenters and reporters.
