Ryan Clark, Karl Ravech among ESPN personalities laid off in budget cuts

ESPN is laying off several notable on-air talents as part of budget cuts by parent company Disney. Among those let go are analyst Ryan Clark, who joined ESPN in 2015, and longtime play-by-play broadcaster Karl Ravech, who had been with the network for 33 years. Clark was informed of his termination during a break on 'NFL Live,' following earlier incidents that had drawn negative attention. Ravech served as the voice of 'Sunday Night Baseball' before the rights were transferred to NBC. Other personnel affected include NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and ESPN injury expert Stephania Bell, both of whom played significant roles in their respective areas.
