A planned layoff of 4,000 Disney employees will include those who work for cable sports channel ESPN, one of the three primary business segments of the Walt Disney Company.
On his podcast “K[no]w Mercy,” Stephen A. Smith, host and headliner of ESPN daily talk show “First Take,” noted Disney’s plans. Mr. Smith implied that even he, despite his presence on First Take, other talk shows on the network, and ESPN basketball coverage, might possibly be cut.
Other reports suggest that Smith need not worry; he, the Monday Night Football tandem of Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, and late-night “Sportscenter” host Scott Van Pelt are considered untouchable,Instead, the slice of ESPN employees that make close to or more than seven figures without “moving the needle” are the ones most likely to be axed. The purge is expected by the end of April or early May.
As ESPN’s subscriptions have dropped from 100 million households in 2011 to less than 75 million today, there have been previous rounds of layoffs at the Bristol, Connecticut, “Worldwide Leader” of sports coverage.
