ESPN will lay off some of the personalities who appear on TV, radio and online. No announcement has been made about which personalities will be affected, but it seems those with contracts up for renewal may be cut first. "We have long been about serving fans and innovating to create the best content for them," ESPN said in a statement. We are confident that ESPN will continue to have a roster of talent that is unequaled in sports."
