Question for anyone who's following this more closely than I am, has it been reported anywhere that anyone in management is getting a pink slip or is it just "the rank and file" on air types? The reason why I ask is that clearly the decision to go political is having repercussions and I'm wondering if any of the execs who implemented this slant are getting the axe.
I follow it pretty closely- I don't think rating are the issue so much as subscribers. ESPN relies on increasing numbers of people having cable and their networks being on base tiers- both of those have been changing. Combine that with increasing fixed costs thanks to terrible rights deals, and you get the Mouse cutting costs elsewhere
