Disney Mulls Selling Off Assets at Declining ESPN

The Information: ESPN last November laid off 300 people, about 6% of its workforce, a gut-wrenching move for what was once Disney’s profit engine. Now, ESPN is considering selling small parts of its business. For instance, the network is said to be trying to sell its X Games extreme sports franchise, a 25-year-old effort to bring in younger fans that never fully took off.
