SNY host is in a ‘bad dream’ after revealing she was part of layoffs

Former SNY host Niki Lattarulo said she was among staff laid off by the New York sports network last week. She described the news as feeling like a “bad dream”, while thanking colleagues and saying she was grateful the role brought her back to her home market.

SNY cancelled “SportsNite” and “Baseball Night in New York” and laid off most of its editorial staff, while retaining its Mets and Jets pregame and postgame shows and other programmes. The network said it was reviewing its business and programming; its website has removed past articles, and a source said it would focus more on schedules and promotion. “Mets Hot Stove”, “The Carton Show” simulcast and several on-air contributors are reportedly unaffected.
