ESPN Cutting Nearly $100 Million In On-Air Talent

[King Poetic]

They over saturated the market anyway with too much shyt

feel sorry for the people behind the scene making $40,000 a year with a family...

shows u the top people in charge are not good with handling finances throughout this pandemic.. they should have been good for at least a year or two in the budgets

Must be nice

I’m just assuming that she didn’t take the buyout and they are still paying her since she hasn’t signed anywhere else yet like Jemele did. Surely it would have leaked out by now if she did.

The cuts are expected to hit hardest among ESPN employees who work behind the camera

sucks

I would assume if you're due for a contract extension and haven't gotten one yet, then you're on the chopping block as well. Golic in particular.

I hope Rachel Nichols is cut.

I hope Rachel Nichols is cut.

Agreed. I still cant think of a time where she actually had anything to say about something on the court rather than off court drama. She only exists to stir up bullshyt and politics

The worst part about it is that Disney is mandating these cuts and laying off people, but the salaries of the people in charge are going back to pre-pandemic levels.

unless you're apple, google, msft or amazon sitting on mountains of cash, that's not how businesses work. especially not media, especially a media and entertainment company that has been losing money for years to cord cutting, and lost damn near all revenue this year from lack of movie releases, sports, closed parks and cruises...

Also going to hurt pro athletes in 3/4 years because Disney isn’t going to pay as much for live sports. They currently have gigantic contracts through abc/espn for “exclusive” rights that will go elsewhere to less paying stations which means less money thrown in the pot for revenue sharing.
