Another round of layoffs are hitting ESPN, according to a Sports Illustrated report.
Sources told Sports Illustrated ESPN plans to layoff more than 100 staffers after the Thanksgiving holidays, with SportsCenter in particular expected to lose jobs. ESPN did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
The company has gone through several rounds of layoffs over the past few years. In April, it let 100 people go, including about 10 percent of ESPN's more front-facing employees including on-air talent and writers.
ESPN is going through changes as more people move away from cable and towards stand-alone streaming services. The company is preparing to launch an "add-on" digital service which will let people watch content on their mobile devices, CEO Bob Iger told CNBC in October. There will also be an additional product which will give viewers access to more than 10,000 live sporting events.

“Joey Galloway”
Really? The few times I’ve seen him, he was acting like he had his head screwed on properly.
What did I miss?
Nicely phrased!
We have a new over-the-air sports channel called, The Stadium. So far, so good, just sports reporting without all the social justice commie stuff.
We cut cable long ago when it was getting ridiculously high. I hear it’s worse now. I guess the cable company’s answer to losing more and more subscribers to their ridiculous prices and other, is to continue raise prices for those they have lost.
The CEO’s and BOD’s have to look like “geniuses” by making sure they can show their investors short-term profits by continuing to mask their failures with the raising of prices. Meanwhile, all this does in reality is hurt the brand long-term. Wall Street is way too infected with this kind of thinking these days and why I stay away from it.

You're looking over here while the government / statist media complex and the financial system is stealing your money over there.
They're afraid if you actually start paying attention, you'll become very, very angry -
With their experience, maybe they’ll find jobs in politics, eh?
