ESPN’s next round of layoffs will slash $80 million in salaries

ESPN is poised to slash an estimated $80 million in salaries and other costs in coming weeks, sources tell Sporting News.
The third round of layoffs in two years at the Disney-owned sports network is expected to come down after Thanksgiving and before Christmas. Sporting News broke the news that ESPN planned to lay off up to 60 people in late November and early December. Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated followed up with a report that said 100 positions could be impacted. ESPN declined to comment Monday.

The current "SportsCenter Coast to Coast" with Cari Champion and David Lloyd is expected to go away this spring, according to The Big Lead. It will replaced by a new show fronted by Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre. Champion is expected to succeed Michelle Beadle on the Los Angeles-based "SportsNation," according to TBL's Ryan Glasspiegel, as Beadle moves east to join Mike Greenberg's New York City-based morning show.
quote:
The biggest question revolves around Jemele Hill, co-host of the 6 p.m. "SportsCenter," who was suspended two weeks with pay for calling President Donald Trump a "white supremacist" on Twitter. Hill is a repeat violator of the company's nebulous social media guidelines. That's usually the thing that gets you axed. Just ask Bill Simmons.
quote:
Still, the word inside ESPN is that nobody's happy about "The Six," including the two stars. Some sources speculate that Hill may leave on her own to talk politics on a news channel such as MSNBC or CNN. There's a culture war raging and Hill has admitted that it's hard to stick to sports when there are vital national issues at stake.

As long as they keep showing games, doesn't bother me.

So cool for them to wait until right before Christmas to do this.

That's a $1.3M average salary if they lay off the "up to 60."

Pretty sure none of those anchors will be hurting for Christmas money, plus FSN will be picking up them up in no time.

It's so hard to stick to sports, Jemele. I agree.

This spectacle surrounding a company's layoffs is really strange to me. Is there any other scenario in which a company laying off 60-100 people can in itself be news? And such news that it's announced ahead of time with inside sources?

Probably not, it's just not a very good visual, imo.
