Employees at ESPN, a brand synonymous with sports broadcasting for nearly five decades, face an uncertain future.
According to John Ourand of Puck, an “unexpected revenue dip” will trigger imminent layoffs at ESPN.
“I can now confirm that another round [of layoffs] is approaching,” Ourand wrote.
In June 2023, ESPN announced that it had parted ways with NFL reporter Suzy Kolber, NFL draft analyst Todd McShay, and nearly two dozen other familiar faces.
Unlike its most recent purge, this time, the network will not slash on-air talent.
“I’m told the number will land near 30, with cuts expected in the coming weeks, primarily in off-camera departments,” Ourand added.
