Budget cuts are looming for Fox Sports as a result of the millions in lost advertising revenue for the NFL over the last two seasons, a report says.
Fox Sports’ Los Angeles staffers are dreading the upcoming layoffs and budget cuts due to disappointing NFL advertising revenue so far this season, according to Sporting News.
One cutback may affect FS1 stars Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe, as well. With NBC having won the upcoming Super Bowl, it is being reported that Fox won’t send its top name staffers to broadcast from Minnesota for Super Bowl 52. Fox will keep its broadcasters and crew home and save the cash it would have spent by sending its top stars to Minneapolis.
This is a departure from the previous Super Bowl when the whole Undisputed TV team was sent to cover Super Bowl 51. Fox Sports also sent several teams from its other programs to NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
