I'm curious what kind of positions they mean by "operational areas". Is this content creation people, broadcast support staff, janitors? Anyone know more?

Yeah, operation is pretty vague. I assume most of the fall shows are in the can and should be gearing up for the mid season shows. Holiday specials etc this should be a busier time?

Yeah I was wondering about the ESPN omission as well. I would have thought that since ESPN seems to be the one that is struggling the most that it would be the one to get the cuts, but maybe that's exactly why they left it alone.

In any case it will not be the ones responsible for the mess

I'm also curious how much longer the comics division can be the joke of the industry and plummeting sales before someone at Disney actually checks up on them.

As terrible as that sounds, you may be right.

ESPN had a ton of layoffs to on air personalities a few months back.

Not sure if this was already posted but EA has responded to the Battlefront II loot box backlash:
Some commentary:

Still pretty dang bad but not as bad as the beta made it seem at least.

And it's due to the backlash.
I'll be starting the thread dedicated to this stuff soon.

Hopefully the backlash keeps working. I was really looking forward to BFII.

It would be a nice development if EA dropped their love of lootboxes.
