I'm a big fan of CNET TV, and I'm sure a lot of people who follow the "Web 2.0" shows like Diggnation, Mahalo Daily, and others also watch a lot of CNET TV. Therefore, the news of such a large number of layoffs raised the fear that people like Molly Wood, Tom Merritt, Nicole Lee, et al, would be let go.

The poor performance of CNET as a company seems to be the reason for the personnel reductions and does not really say anything about the viability of CNET TV. Unless I'm missing something?
