Melissa Stark, Andrew Siciliano out at NFL Network as outlet cuts four personalities

NFL Network is parting ways with four on-air talents in Melissa Stark, Andrew Siciliano, James Palmer and Will Selva, according to The Athletic.

These cuts continue recent cost-effective maneuvers by the league’s media outlet.

“As is normal course of business this time of year, we are evaluating our talent roster for the upcoming 2024 season and beyond,” NFL Network spokesperson Alex Riethmiller told The Athletic.

“That process results in renewals, non-renewals and additions to our talent lineup depending on programming needs. To those departing talent, we give our sincere thanks and appreciation for their hard work and contributions to NFL Media.”

Stark’s NFL.com bio lists her as a host/reporter, and she also works as a sideline reporter for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”

Siciliano hosted several shows for NFL Network, but rose to fame as the sole host of DirecTV’s “RedZone” channel. He also serves as the Rams’ preseason play-by-play television announcer.

Palmer had been with the NFL since 2015, per his bio, serving as a reporter.

He called his stint with the network a “dream job” in a tweet announcing the split.

“Some personal news. NFL Network has bought out my contract and my time there has come to an end,” Palmer posted on X on Thursday morning. “It was a dream job and I loved every minute of it. And that’s mostly because of the people that I got to work with and the friendships that will last well beyond any ‘job’. I’m excited for what’s to come. Not sure what that is exactly, I’ve learned a lot in the last decade at NFl Network and I’m better for it.”

Selva served as an anchor after joining the outlet in January 2013. He co-hosted El Huddle, described as the “first English-language original podcast series by and for the Latino fanbase.”

He also contributed to “Good Morning Football.”

NFL Network previously moved “Good Morning Football” from New York City to Los Angeles to save costs.

That decision caught host Jamie Erdahl and analysts Kyle Brandt, Peter Schrager and Jason Mccourty by surprise, as they all live on the East Coast and would have to move to remain on the show.

The show will now be located in the NFL’s Inglewood, Calif., media base, per The Athletic.

The outlet previously reported that NFL Network laid off roughly five percent of its staff last year, while The Post first reported how the NFL has been attempting to “unload its network” for years.
