Ron MacLean's fate on Hockey Night in Canada revealed
The source who reported Jeff Marek's departure from Sportsnet also hints at upcoming layoffs and a possible timeline for Ron MacLean's exit.
Sportsnet, the leading sports network in Canada under Rogers Sports and Media, has made a major shift by letting go of one of its top broadcasters after over a decade. Jeff Marek left the 32 Thoughts Podcast after the 2024 NHL Draft and later shared his thanks in a message a month after his departure.
"After 13 fantastic years at Sportsnet, I'm moving on. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked with so many talented individuals and contributed to delivering sports and hockey news to fans across Canada and beyond. Stay tuned for what's next."
The exit of a cherished on-air personality left fans confused and upset, sparking many questions about the network's future. An insider, known as "Jonah," hinted that while Marek's departure may not be directly linked, it could signal upcoming changes and layoffs at Sportsnet.
"Although not directly connected, it seems Jeff Marek's departure from Rogers SN might be just the beginning of a wave of further 'changes,' cuts, and layoffs within the media company."
"Ron MacLean could very well be among the upcoming cuts�otherwise, what's the rationale behind these moves?"
"Why make such changes now, especially with the NHL Rogers deal set to expire in two years?"
