Additional layoffs expected at Sportsnet following Jeff Marek's departure
According to new reports, Jeff Marek was just the first of many Sportsnet employees to lose their jobs this summer.
Marek was let go earlier this week after nearly a month of speculation about his status. The last "32 Thoughts" episode aired a month ago, and there have been no episodes of "The Jeff Marek Show" since. Now we know why.
It appears Marek's departure was just the first in a series of moves. While he is the most visible figure to leave, dozens more employees may lose their jobs behind the scenes, which does not bode well for the network as a whole.
According to this report, Marek's departure is not related to the upcoming round of layoffs.
Regardless, fans are unhappy with the situation. Marek was the host of "32 Thoughts," the most popular and important podcast in the hockey world, making it difficult to replace him.
What will the future hold for Sportsnet? It's hard to say, but it doesn't look promising at the moment.
