Mike Soltys, ESPN’s second longest-tenured exec, has become a casualty of ESPN’s latest round of layoffs. The VP/Corporate Communications officially was informed this morning and will leave the company in late June after a 43-year run. Soltys is the first name to emerge from today’s layoffs, part of Disney CEO Bob Iger’s plan to cut the workforce by about 7,000 jobs. The first wave of cuts, which includes not filling some open positions, hit Disney last month. This second wave will affect an unknown number of ESPN employees this week. A third wave of cuts will occur in the summer; those also will involve ESPN workers. Layoffs will hit ESPN’s on-air talent after those summer cuts.


Which on-air talent do you think gets let go?

Wouldn't surprise me to see Sam Ponder and Sage Steele let go after publicly standing with Riley Gaines on the men in women's sports issue.

I don't know how much of an on air name he is, but luginbill has run the espn recruiting site into last place.

I'm sure someone else can manage the same results for less $$$

Every single talking head needs to be let go. Bring back nothing but Sportscenter re-runs all day long and maybe the pertinent-for-the-season sport-specific program at night.

Essentially, turn it back into the 1990s-early2000s ESPN.
