N/S: Sources: ESPN Laying Off Hundreds

ESPN has been cutting back a lot lately.

1. They all but shut down their UK operation. They did not even try to bid for the Premiership rights they had held.

2. They shut down ESPN America. That was a channel that showed a ton of American sports in Europe. Expats are probably fuming at that decision, because other then the few rights the Eurpoean networks have for some NFL and NBA games, that was the only outlet for American sports there.

Now this.

From the reports, its about "profit margin" It means they are not losing money. They are just not making the kind of money the suits at Disney think they should be making.
