"ESPN Layoffs: Jalen Rose, Jeff Van Gundy, and Suzy Kolber Among Talent Cut"

ESPN has announced layoffs of on-air personalities, including Suzy Kolber, Jalen Rose, and Jeff Van Gundy, as part of cost-cutting measures. The network stated that it needed to reduce expenses in the area of commentator salaries. About 20 commentators were laid off, and some contracts will be renegotiated at reduced salaries or allowed to expire. This move comes as ESPN's parent company, Disney, faces financial challenges due to declining traditional television viewing and struggles with its streaming services.
