Report: Major round of layoffs coming to Sports Network!

Some National Hockey League teams are having a hard time this season, but so are some TV Networks around America. Multiple sources have told the Sporting News that ESPN staffers are bracing for another possible round of layoffs later this year. 

"The next round of cutbacks could come down in late November or early December, with 40-60 positions potentially being impacted, according to sources. The layoffs could hit both on-air TV/radio talent and behind-the-scenes production staffers," writes Sporting News. 

"This time it won't matter if you're 'liked' or not. It's not going to be pretty," one source told them on the record.  

ESPN declined to comment on the allegations. 

They however have not been the only media company downsizing in the past year. Media organizations ranging from Fox to Sports Illustrated have also had to lay off staffers.
