(CNBC) – ESPN is going through another round of layoffs.
CNBC obtained a memo in which ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro announced to staffers that roughly 300 people will be laid off as parent company Disney shifts to more direct-to-consumer streaming. The memo follows internal discussions about layoffs related to Covid-19.
ESPN will also part ways with some on-air talent once contracts expire.
