ESPN will cut more than 100 employees today, Yahoo Finance has learned. Will be curious to see who, but there will definitely be some big names getting the axe. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

They have a show for everything. Hopefully this will allow them to have more focused shows.
Or, maybe they are going the MTV route and making everything a reality show and if you want sports you have to watch ESPN 2, Classic, etc --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most of the "talent" on ESPN is pretty awful anyway. The old school reporters have slowly been phased out and replaced by the limp-wristed SJW types or guys like Brian Windedhorse who clearly never played a sport.

Yeah, Mike & Mike is decent, and PTI is watchable. That's about it. Hoping that garbage show with Jemele Hill goes.

At this point the only thing I ever watch on ESPN is 30 for 30, Sports Center, and occasionally Mike & Mike and I imagine those shows, or what I actually watch them for at least, will be largely unaffected by this.

From 8-3 they basically have different people talk about the exact same things that happened every day so hopefully they'll fill those slots with actual sports.

There is plenty to discuss in sports without just repeating highlights. Sports podcasts generate lots of great sports content everyday, by actually analyzing and discussing topics for more than 15 seconds.

In some cases, for example, the Serie A and Serie B (Italian league soccer), they have exclusive broadcasting rights to BEIN Sports which even though it has english broadcasters, only the spanish broadcast is available in the USA. Now maybe those sports have poor ratings, but the ratings will never improve if they're just not on air in the first place. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
