ESPN has promoted Mike McQuade and David Roberts to oversee initiatives like news, sports, entertainment and studio productions at the network, with the appointments coming as part of a broader reorganization of its internal structure.
That reorganization will see ESPN also cutting down on some positions and rank in an effort to make the company “more strategic, collaborative and nimble, as we continue to excel in every area and function,” according to a memo from ESPN President of Content Burke Magnus.
“We remain committed to employee development, and the restructure will result in new positions or promotions for people who are expanding their responsibilities or taking on new challenges,” Magnus said.
