Not a Holly Jolly Christmas At the Media Companies
No more eggnog
 


Don't be too sad if you are one of the Election Day layoff staffers over at Viacom: you're not missing much of a Christmas party, anyway.

MTV's parent company isn't the only one calling off its major annual bash; Lydia Hearst already did or did not call out her dynasty for throwing elaborate parties while the country goes broke, and now it's been shut it down as well.

Full list of the companies going rogue Scrooge this year after the jump. At least they'll be able to cut in half their companies' sexual harassment lawsuits?

• Viacom: Including VH1/MTV, and everything else in the land as far as Sumner Redstone can see.

• Hearst Publications

• News Corp: Including Fox News Channel, The New York Post, and everything else Murdoch owned. Canceled reservations at the New York Hilton make sure that the hotel will also be suffering a money crunch this season.

• ABC News: Nixed the mistletoe and asked execs to start staying at B-level hotels and flying coach. Now that's a bad sign.
