Janet Shamlian, a Houston-based CBS News correspondent with a history at local H-Town stations, has been cut, according to Deadline, as part of the massive Paramount layoffs following the acquisition of CBS News by Skydance.
That leaves Karen Hua as the only CBS News national reporter based in Houston.
Just this morning, I posted that CBS News Texas KTVT Dallas-Fort Worth evening anchor Nicole Baker was let go as part of the layoffs resulting from the merger.
A Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist, Shamlian has covered many of the most significant national and international stories over her three-decade career.
Before joining CBS News, Shamlian spent a decade at NBC News, where she reported for Today, NBC Nightly News, and MSNBC, following her 2005 network entry.
Before her national network career, Shamlian reported for CBS Chicago WBBM, KHOU 11 Houston, and served as a weekend news anchor at KPRC 2 Houston. She began her broadcasting career at WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
A graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Shamlian is a native of Chicago.
