Report: Longtime ESPN personality being let go by network
Published:
ESPN is reportedly letting go of longtime network personality Trey Wingo. The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reported the news on Friday morning.
Wingo has been with the company for more than 20 years, but because he was taken off ESPN Radio’s Golic & Wingo program, which meant his most prominent role came with hosting the NFL Draft, and it reportedly wasn’t enough for the network to keep Wingo on board.
His contract was set to expire at the end of the year.
The company has been utilizing cost-saving measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The New York Post was unable to confirm what Wingo will be pursuing next. It was reported that he has previously looked at potential openings with NFL Network.
The New York Post said that ESPN declined to comment on the matter and Wingo did not reply to the publication’s message.
