Sources: ESPN Looks To Sell X Games As Part Of Business Review

ESPN is "trying to sell its X Games extreme sports franchise," according to sources. The sale is reportedly "part of a broader review of ESPN’s assets as the company tries to decide which businesses are essential to maintaining its cable TV audience or could be helpful in adding subscribers to its streaming service, ESPN+," the people said. ESPN "has explored selling its Latin American networks in the past," but those are "not expected to be unloaded as part of the current process." This comes as the pandemic "has accelerated" the "shift of people away from cable toward streaming" (THEINFORMATION.com, 1/28).
