ESPN plans another big round of layoffs
ESPN reportedly plans another big round of layoffs in the coming weeks
BY PETE GRATHOFF

NOVEMBER 10, 2017 9:10 AM


Once upon a time, “SportsCenter” was must-see television for fans. But ESPN’s one-time signature program apparently will be at the center of another round of layoffs that reportedly will happen in the coming weeks.

Sports Illustrated reported that more than 100 people will lose their jobs after Thanksgiving. This is from the SI story:

The layoffs, which were described by a person briefed on the plans, will hit positions across ESPN including front-facing talent on the television side, producers, executives, and digital and technology staffers. The SportsCenter franchise is expected to be hit hard—including on-air people—given the frequency of the show has lessened considerably on main network ESPN.

As more people drop cable in favor of streaming, ESPN has felt the financial pinch. In April, ESPN cut a number of long-time journalists as part of a round of layoffs that included 100 people.

According to the Los Angeles Times, ESPN weighed down the earnings of its parent company, Walt Disney, in a report on Thursday. The Times said that Disney’s “revenue declined 3 percent and the company failed to meet analysts’ expectations.”

The holiday season may seem like a harsh time to shed jobs. But Sports Illustrated said one reason why ESPN is planning the layoffs between Thanksgiving and Christmas is so employees can received another year in the stock vesting program.

I'm sure I'm missing a few...
Riddick, Woody, Orlovsky, and even Ninkovich (who seems to refrain from sucking Brady dick as often as Bruschi) are all 100% better individually than the current team on that Sunday Countdown show. ESPN has talent, but they're not using it properly.

Marcus Spears, too. He could be awesome on Countdown, but instead they've got him talking about the Cowboys every day with Stephen A. Unbelievable.

They've got the professional chefs showing people to their tables while their dishwashers are trying to make duck a l'orange

My guess is either the countdown guys have bigger contracts or have no desire to do a show everyday..like you never see Randy Moss outside of Sunday and Monday countdowns.

ESPN still unwatchable other than the live events?

I'm presuming it is.

I liked Kobler. She always seemed reasonable.

The few times I saw Young, he seemed to actually know the game. JVG was good. The only time I ever consumed McShay was on Russillo's pod. Maybe he'll have time for more appearances. I don't consume any of his content anymore, but I really liked Jalen Rose.

It's remarkable jackasses like Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards, Damien Woody - who has never said anything interesting ****ing ever, Bruschi who is incapable of anything except shilling for Belicheat. Stephen A Smith who is abso****inglutely the worst of the worst in sports broadcasting still have a ****ing job.

Meh.

Knowing ESPN, they’ll give Suzy’s position to Brooke Pryor.

The rest? See ya.
The majority of Van Gundy's rants I agreed with.

Put that man in charge of the rules (including in game reviews and fines) committee.

Pretty much this. The only time I watch ESPN is if a Chiefs game is on. And even then I kind of feel dirty about it.

ESPN went the way of MTV; got away from what they did and lost their way.
