ESPN Makes Sweeping Cuts

The layoffs come as the network plans to shed $30 million as part of parent company Disney's cost-cutting strategy.

"Given the current environment, ESPN has determined it necessary to identify some additional cost savings in the area of public-facing commentator salaries, and that process has begun," ESPN said in a statement.

"This exercise will include a small group of job cuts in the short-term and an ongoing focus on managing costs when we negotiate individual contract renewals in the months ahead."

The employees received phone calls starting at 9 a.m. Friday informing them they were "no longer contributing to ESPN," one source told Front Office Sports.

The network will buy those let go out of their guaranteed contracts. So they will still get their full pay but won't appear on ESPN platforms.

This is a developing story.
