FS1 is making some changes and has cancelled three different shows.
The sports television network is cancelling shows “Speak,” “The Facility” and “Breakfast Ball.” The most notable development is that Joy Taylor is no longer with FS1. She had co-hosted “Speak.”
The other co-hosts for “Speak” included Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson. “Breakfast Ball” was hosted by Craig Carton, Danny Parkins and Mark Schlereth. “The Facility” was a newer show, and it had been co-hosted by former NFL players Emmanuel Acho, Chase Daniel, James Jones and LeSean McCoy.
The cancellations mean that FS1 only has two live shows — “The Herd” featuring Colin Cowherd, and “First Things First,” which is Nick Wright’s show.
Front Office Sports reports that FS1 could have interest in Tony Reali, Max Kellerman, and Kay Adams to potentially host shows for them. Reali was a longtime host at ESPN until “Around the Horn” was cancelled. There was talk that he could end up at FS1. Kellerman has been a host at both FS1 and ESPN in the past. He was the original host of “Around the Horn,” and his departure for FS1 gave Reali the opportunity to host the show. Adams was a host at NFL Network and later left to host a show for FanDuel Sports.
All three shows that are being cancelled by FS1 due to poor ratings. The three shows also were created by Charlie Dixon, an executive who has since been fired by the network.
