RT America is pulling the plug. T&R Productions, the company behind the Kremlin-backed network, sent a memo to staff Thursday announcing that it is ceasing production and laying off most of its staff as a result of “unforeseen business interruption events.”Several TV operators and tech platforms worldwide have dropped RT or curtailed its reach since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Holland Cooke, who was a host on the network, wrote in a column for an industry trade publication that some RT employees began bailing from the broadcaster last week.“In an all-hands meeting Thursday at noon, management spared remaining RT-ers the dilemma,” he wrote. “We’ve been canceled, by cable/satellite/online distribution platforms.”RT representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
