Disney’s ESPN Moves ‘First Take’ in Effort to Boost Ratings

SportsBusiness Daily: ESPN will move “First Take” from ESPN2 to ESPN, a move that company execs believe will increase viewership for the nearly 10-year-old franchise. The move to ESPN’s 10:00 am-12:00 pm ET timeslot starts Jan. 3. “First Take” has struggled with viewers since Skip Bayless left the show in the summer and was replaced by Max Kellerman.
