Karl Ravech, as well as a slew of other ESPN broadcasters and **** ysts, are expected to be impacted by the network's latest round of layoffs, sources told The Athletic Tuesday.
Ravech, a 31-year veteran of the network, served as ESPN's lead MLB play-by-play announcer, covered college basketball and anchored SportsCenter. He called the Dodgers-Phillies game Monday before reportedly learning his position was in jeopardy. When contacted by The Athletic Tuesday morning, Ravech said he had not yet been informed of his status.
The reported list of cuts extends across ESPN and NFL Network, reportedly including NFL MVP Cam Newton, longtime SportsCenter anchor David Lloyd, injury **** yst Stephania Bell, former All-Pro linebacker and studio host Bart Scott and NFL Network **** yst Charles Davis, according to The Athletic.
The layoffs follow ESPN's decision Monday to part ways with NFL **** yst Ryan Clark , with additional cuts expected among behind-the-scenes staff. Many of the reductions are reportedly connected to ESPN's integration with NFL Network, including the expected departure of NFL insider Tom Pelissero, one of the network's top reporters, according to the outlet.
A memo from ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro to employees Tuesday morning, obtained by The Independent, did not identify those impacted by the layoffs but said the cuts followed a review of the company's teams, resources and structure after integrating acquired NFL **** ets.
