More layoffs reportedly incoming at Sportsnet after Jeff Marek's firing
According to new reports, Jeff Marek was just the first of many Sportsnet employees to lose their job this summer.
Marek was infamously let go by Sportsnet earlier this week after nearly a month of speculation about his status. The last 32 thoughts episode came a month ago to the day, and there have not been any episodes of the Jeff Marek Show either. Now we know why.

It appears as though Marek leaving the network was just the first in a series of moves. He will likely be the most visible move made by the network as Jeff Marek is well known and regarded throughout the league. However, dozens more employees could be set to lose their jobs behind the scenes, which does not bode well for the network as a whole.
That being said, according to this report, Marek being fired has nothing to do with the upcoming round of layoffs.
Regardless, fans are not thrilled about what is going on with the network. After all, Marek was host of 32 thoughts, the most popular and important podcast in the hockey world. It is not easy to replace someone in a position like that.
What will the future hold for Sportsnet? That is hard to say, but it is not looking too good at the moment.
