When Skip Bayless announced he was leaving FS1, everyone knew changes would come to the network’s sports talk show lineups. On Thursday, those changes were announced.
The first major change made was to the timeslot formerly held by Undisputed.
This fall, between 10am and 12pm ET, the network will launch The Facility, which will be hosted by former Speak hosts Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy and James Jones. They will be joined by another former NFL player, Chase Daniel.
They will be followed by The Herd with Colin Cowherd and co-host Jason McIntyre in its normal 12pm – 3pm timeslot, followed by the regular crew of Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes on First Things First from 3-5 pm.
And Speak, formerly hosted by Joy Taylor, Acho, McCoy and Jones, will be helmed by Taylor, who will be joined by former Undisputed hosts Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce from 5-7pm.
“FS1 is evolving around a dynamic roster of sports talk personalities, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead,” said Charlie Dixon, FS1’s Executive Vice President and Head of Content, in a statement. “From early morning to late afternoon, viewers can look forward to an array of compelling sports discussions, expert analysis and exclusive interviews, all designed to keep sports enthusiasts informed and entertained throughout the day.”
FS1 will start its morning lineup at 8am from New York City with the new show Breakfast Ball, hosted by Craig Carton, Mark Schlereth and Danny Parkins.
The lineup officially begins on Tuesday, September 3rd.
