ESPN announced a sweeping reorganization on Monday under President of Content Burke Magnus, which has been months in the making after the network parted ways with longtime executive Norby Williamson in April.
In a memo sent to ESPN employees Monday morning, Magnus announced 37-year network veteran Mike McQuade has been promoted to an EVP role and will be overseeing Sports Production (meaning live events) and Dave Roberts is leading the Sports News & Entertainment team, which covers news and studio shows that aren’t specific to a single sport or league, such as “SportsCenter,” “First Take,” “Get Up” and so forth.
In his most recent role, Roberts had been overseeing NBA and WNBA game and studio production.
The Athletic's Andrew Marchand reported that five ESPN executives lost their jobs in the reorganization.
The names of the executives were not immediately known.
