Michelle Beadle is headed back to ESPN after nearly two years away from the network, according to a report.
SI’s Richard Deitsch reported the news on Tuesday and says Beadle, who became well known through her work co-hosting “SportsNation” with Colin Cowherd, will head back to the network where she had her most success.
Beadle was one of the top female personalities at ESPN at the time of her departure. Often compared with Erin Andrews, Beadle left ESPN for NBC Sports, where she co-hosted an afternoon talk show called “The Crossover,” worked for NBC during the London Olympics, and also appeared on “Access Hollywood.”
Beadle’s show was cancelled after less than a year, and on the Fang’s Bites podcast, she expressed dissatisfaction with the network over a number of issues, including the way her show was promoted.
Deitsch says Beadle left ESPN on good terms and will be welcomed back by the network. He says we can expect her to host or co-host a New York-based show at some point. She can leave NBC in March, he says.
