Round 2 of the ESPN bloodletting began today, and a source tells us that Howie Schwabremember Stump the Schwab?was among those let go.
We hear a senior researcher has also been let go and that five open positions in the production department will be eliminated. ESPNews's Highlight Express, which scored a 0.0 in the Nielsen ratings a few months back, is getting canceled.
UPDATE, 5:38 p.m.: The Schwab just posted a note to his Facebook page. He is not happy:
After 26 years at ESPN, I am extremely disappointed to say farewell. I have been proud of my association and my work during my tenure. I was a loyal employee, displayed respect for others, worked with numerous charities, represented the company well. I always did everything asked of me and more. What did I get in return today word that I should get lost. The only thing that mattered was my salary, which in my view was the lone reason I lost my job.
