ESPN announced a massive wave of layoffs last week, a direct result of COVID-19’s effect on sports media, and they touched every part of the company. That includes “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” on ESPN Radio. Beloved producer Chris Cote was laid off last week, but host Dan Le Batard announced on Wednesday that he’s found a way to keep Cote on and will personally pay his salary.
Anger from host, fans
Cote announced on Sunday that he was part of ESPN’s massive layoffs last week.
I’m saddened to announce that I was part of the ESPN layoffs that took place last week.
