Jane Velez-Mitchell and her staff have been laid off due to budget cuts at CNN that ended her nightly program on the HLN network. The program, which ran for six years on the CNN sister network, aired its last show Monday.

NEW YORK — CNN’s “Crossfire” and Jane Velez-Mitchell’s nightly show on HLN are both being canceled as a result of budget cuts at CNN Worldwide.

Velez-Mitchell’s program, which aired for six years at 7 p.m. on the CNN sister network, ended Monday. Mitchell was told of the layoff Tuesday, and she was one of 12 people with the show let go with the cut, said executives Wednesday at CNN. The show is being replaced temporarily by “Forensic Files.”

CNN boss Jeff Zucker revived the long-running political debate show “Crossfire” after it had spent several years off the air, but it never really caught on. The show has recently been on hiatus. The show’s hosts, Newt Gingrich, Stephanie Cutter, S.E. Cupp and Van Jones, will stay on as commentators, but others with the show were laid off.

CNN has also disbanded its Los Angeles-based unit that covers entertainment and will be ending three specialty shows.

Rachel Nichols’ Friday night sports show, “Unguarded,” has been canceled, but Nichols will remain as CNN’s sole sports anchor and also works for Turner Sports. Sanjay Gupta’s half-hour medical show that airs twice on the weekend has been axed, but Gupta — who is getting plenty of air time with the Ebola story dominating CNN’s news broadcasts — will stay with the network.

Similarly, the “CNN Money” show with Christine Romans that airs on Saturday afternoon will be canceled, but Romans is staying with the network.
