A group of CNN veterans — among them camera operators and fact-checkers — have opted to take voluntary buyouts as part of an offer spurred by Skydance‘s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The deadline for these employees to accept the buyout came Sunday, according to these people. Skydance and CNN declined to make executives available for comment.
