Walt Disney Co. is consolidating operations that make TV shows, eliminating about 30 jobs in the latest of a series of cost-savings steps.

The drama and comedy teams at ABC and Hulu Originals will be combined, the company said Tuesday in a statement. At the same time, the ABC Signature studio will be shut down, with its operations folded into 20th Television, a former Fox TV business.
