Michael Smith, Jemele Hill Will Take Over ESPN’s 6 P.M. ‘SportsCenter’

ESPN’s early-evening edition of “SportsCenter” will soon become a “His & Hers” affair.
Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, who have co-hosted “His & Hers” on ESPN2 since June of 2013 and the show was known under a different title, will take the hosting reins at ESPN’s 6 p.m. “SportsCenter” on February 6, 2017, the day after Super Bowl LI. They will replace the broadcast’s current anchor, Lindsay Czarniak, who will go on maternity leave in early November and return next year in a new role that will be announced later. Both hosts have signed new, multi-year deals with the Walt Disney-owned sports network.
Smith and Hill will place emphasis on putting sports headlines in context, King said. “By 6 p.m. and 3 p.m. on the West Coast, we understand that audiences have pretty much come across the headlines that have happened in the course of a day, either through social content, or through mobile or digital content,” said King. “What they actually really need is a sense of why it matters, and a sense of context, as opposed to just news.”
The format of the new “SportsCenter” edition is expected to be more conversational, and feature commentary and opinion from Hill and Smith.
I haven't seen much of His & Hers, are they at least somewhat entertaining?

ESPNs non-game programming is such trash.

There's two clauses in there that are synonyms.

Yeah poor Lindsay is getting the boot when she returns from Maternity leave. Wonder if she leaves and joins her husband Craig Melvin at NBC?

I like them when they talk sports and light pop culture like movies.

Like I needed anymore reasons not to watch ESPN anymore. Get ready for 24/7 coverage of social justice warriors and BLM.

I shall indulge, then report back with my complaints.

The ratings are about to go to zero.
Disney should go ahead and sell ESPN while they are still worth something. Cut their losses.
