Around 70 Sky staff could be made redundant by the end of the summer as part of a shake-up in the Production Services division covering news and sport.
Staff who work in areas such as camera operation, sound production and lighting are thought to be affected.
A document sent to staff on Tuesday read: "If all the proposed changes are implemented, then the overall number of roles in Studios would be reduced by 43 and the number of roles in Post Production would be reduced by 29.
"The number of redundancies would depend on how many people were deployed to other roles at Sky."
The remaining staff will have changes to their working patterns, such as an increased amount of weekend work, according to The Guardian.
The changes are said to be a part of the broadcaster's increased focus on entertainment content, although some have speculated that they are linked to the £4.18bn Premier League football bid earlier in the year.

A Sky spokesperson said: "We've made proposals around how Sky Production Services operates to help meet changing demands in a fast-moving industry.
"While this is expected to mean a limited number of job reductions, it will also bring a better way of working for many. Our priority now is dialogue with our people during a period of consultation."
