"Massive Layoffs Looming at ESPN and Disney: Who's at Risk?"

ESPN is set to undergo layoffs in the next four-to-six weeks, with "no sacred cows" according to a report. Practically everyone, except for "untouchable" talent such as Stephen A. Smith, Scott Van Pelt, and the "Monday Night Football" crew, is vulnerable. The most at-risk are those who make near or more than seven figures and are not considered "needle movers." There is no target number for how many employees will be let go or how much money ESPN must save. ESPN's footprint has been reduced to less than 75 million U.S. homes from 100 million in 2011.
