‘SportsCenter’ anchors among those expected to be axed by ESPN, per reports

ESPN is expected to cut at least another 100 employees after Thanksgiving, marking the company’s third round of layoffs in the last three years, Sports Illustrated reported on Thursday.

According to SI, the layoffs are expected to include several anchors from ESPN’s longest-running program “SportsCenter.” The layoffs are also expected to include other employees such as producers, executives and other staffers, SI reported.

The layoffs to end 2017 come just seven months after ESPN laid off nearly 100 reporters from its roster. Among those laid off were basketball reporter Andy Katz, baseball reporter Jayson Stark and SportsCenter anchor Jay Crawford, to name a few.

In 2015, ESPN laid off 300 employees, most of whom were behind the scenes staff.
