From the reports I've been reading, McAfee will take a paycut to move to ESPN. The plus for him is that he no longer needs to run his own operation with his own engineers, etc. He can let ESPN handle the operations, and he can just provide content - at a lower salary, but without the expenses and operational headaches he has currently.

Can ESPN get rid of him, if his audience doesn't follow him to ESPN? A lot of his audience liked him because he wasn't ESPN, isn't there a chance they can find someone else, instead of going back to ESPN.

That I don't know. I listen to McAfee's podcast from time to time - I don't know that I'd want to listen to him under ESPN's constraints.
