Variety: Wee-hours viewers of ESPN have for the last six years counted on Neil Everett and Stan Verrett to get them through the night. And while some other mainstays at the Disney sports-media outlet have departed, this duo won’t be one of them. Verrett and Everett, who host the 1 a.m. eastern edition of the network’s flagship “SportsCenter,” will stick with the outlet under new “multi-year” deals, ESPN is expected to unveil. ESPN likely hopes the announcement will quell the notion that top employees are leaving the network for other opportunities as its execs navigate a new playing field.
