Here’s an “aww damn” story, According to CNN Money,

150 studio and production employees are being cut from ESPN’s payrolls. ESPN president John Skipper made the announcement in a memo to staff this morning, which noted that the eliminations are being made to redirect resources to growth areas like ESPN+, a direct-to-consumer service debuting in the spring, and a digital SportsCenter on Snapchat.

Everything is turning toward digital.  You better get down or lay down.
