Jeff Marek laid off: Sportsnet to announce important layoffs
Photo credit: Awful Announcing
Last week, the hockey community was stunned by the news that long-time Canadian hockey commentator Jeff Marek would leave Sportsnet after over a decade.
Although I've covered Marek's departure previously, it's worth noting the significant disappointment among fans, who have shown an overwhelming outpouring of support for him from across the hockey world.
Today, we're learning that Marek might not be the only familiar face exiting Sportsnet this summer. According to Jonas Sigel of YYZ Sports Media, who first reported Marek's departure, Sportsnet is expected to undergo another round of "changes," which could include cuts or layoffs in the near future.
While NOT connected AT ALL it appears that Jeff Marek's exit from Rogers SN could have come just ahead of what sounds like another round of "changes"/cuts/layoffs for the media company.
Sigel emphasized that Marek's exit is unrelated to the anticipated cuts, noting that the timing is coincidental. While specifics on these changes remain unclear, Sigel speculates that programs like the Blair and Barker show, which has seen adjustments in recent years, might be among those targeted. As we await further details, the landscape at Sportsnet appears poised for significant shifts.
We'll keep you posted with the latest developments.
