It's crazy at the end of the day Jalen rose will be known more for his studio work than that of a NBA player

Michelle Beadle and Jalen Rose Join Mike Greenberg on ESPN Morning Show (Exclusive)

Michelle Beadle and Jalen Rose will join Mike Greenberg on ESPN’s upcoming morning show, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The new show — the first big programming swing under the stewardship of Connor Schell, recently promoted to executive vp content by ESPN president John Skipper — will bow in spring 2018.

The program, which will air from 7 to 10 a.m., will originate from a new studio in lower Manhattan’s South Street Seaport, which was devastated five years ago by Hurricane Sandy. Rose and Beadle, who will relocate from Los Angeles for the show, will continue as full-time hosts of ESPN’s NBA Countdown for now. And Rose will continue to co-host the ESPN Radio show Jalen & Jacoby. ESPN declined to comment.

Greenberg has already announced that his last day on his popular Mike & Mike program will be Nov. 17, the Friday before Thanksgiving. His impending split from Mike Golic has been an unfolding saga since it was first rumored more than a year ago. ESPN executives have tried over the years to broaden the popular duo. In 2015, the network announced that Mike & Mike would relocate from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., to the Times Square studios where ABC's Good Morning America is shot. But the network reversed course a few months later in what many assumed was a cost-saving decision.

They're building a new studio down by the Brooklyn Bridge, where the mall used to be at the South Street Seaport.

How many personalities does his show have lol. I might be mistaken but isn't he also supposed to be working with Sage Steele and Katie Nolan or something. Plans must change daily for that show.

it is controversial, but ESPN reported the story. They can't suspend her for quoting something from their story. If they did that then she would have grounds for a lawsuit.

Kinds of like Ahmad Rashad.
People really think he either played basketball or was an analyst his whole career.
They don't even know he was a NFL player with a 10 year career and a pro-bowl WR

Good analogy. All I recall is his workmanlike PAWGin and the phylisha rashad proposal.

I hope Disney sells ESPN.

I genuinely hate how conglomerates strangle the life out of the things they take over.

Yup.

Disney still prints money, they're just cutting costs because they realized their ESPN audience doesn't care if X, Y, or Z tv personality leaves for Fox Sports, or NBC, or NFL Network, or CBS, etc..

You can't say you don't watch ESPN because it's too much hack opinions and then in the same vein be surprised when those same hacks get fired. The whole reason for sports is to watch the games, not the people talking about them. Sucks to be them, but "journalists" all over are feeling that pinch.
