ESPN Loses More Talent with Exit of Colin Cowherd

SportsBusiness Daily: ESPN has confirmed that the network will not re-sign Colin Cowherd when his contract expires. ESPN president John Skipper said, “We’ve enjoyed a mutually beneficial run with Colin for over a decade. He came to national prominence on ESPN with his unique perspective on sports and society.” While no destination is said to be finalized, talks are reportedly progressing toward a deal with Fox Sports. Cowherd’s impending departure from ESPN “does not come as much of a surprise for anyone who follows these things closely, or has been listening to Cowherd’s show for the past few months.” But the timing “will leave a gaping hole in ESPN Radio’s weekday lineup and has broader implications” for the network.
