Afternoons on ESPN are reportedly going to look a lot different starting next summer.
New York Post‘s Ryan Glasspiegel reported on Wednesday that ESPN’s Around the Horn will come to an end in the summer of 2025 after a 23-year run.
The Tony Reali-hosted sports panel game show brought sportswriters like Woody Paige, J.A. Adande and Bill Plaschke to national prominence, among many, many others.
Fans of the show will most certainly deduct many points for ESPN making an unpopular decision like this, although the program will at least get a farewell run through the middle of next year.
We sure hope ESPN finds a new place for Reali with the network. He’s one of the best and brightest personalities on the network, and we don’t want him to leave the network on weekdays even if the show is coming to an end.
