ESPN notified staff of job reductions on Tuesday, linking the cuts to its acquisition of NFL Network assets. The company said it completed a review of teams, resources, and organizational structure during the integration process. A memo stated that most of the job impacts resulted from the acquisition, while additional positions in other parts of the company were also affected.
The memo added that affected employees would receive support during the transition.
Some employees learned of the changes through outside reports rather than direct internal communication. One employee received the information while on air. The memo noted that the company would continue to evaluate its structure following the acquisition.
