ESPN plans to lay off 100 on-air personalities and writers, a source familiar with the matter told CNNMoney on Wednesday. The job cuts, including television, radio and online personalities, will be announced Wednesday, and most will take effect immediately, the source said. ESPN also plans to cut what the source described as a limited number of additional off-air jobs. ESPN is shifting its focus toward digital as it faces cable subscriber losses and increased pressure on costs. After 17 years reporting on #NFL, I've been informed that I'm being laid off by ESPN effective immediately.
