What's ESPN replacing Around the Horn with? Here's a (temporary) answer. ESPN has a hole to fill now that Around the Horn has ended its 23-year run -- last week, host Tony Reali explained the scoring system and gave us one last Goodfellas opener -- in the 5 p.m. ET timeslot before Pardon the Interruption. But what will the Worldwide Leader do in that spot now that ATH is no more? The answer we have is short-term, not long-term, so we'll see what kind of programming ESPN comes up with for that late-day placement. For now, per the Hollywood Reporter, "Beginning on Tuesday, May 27, a 30-minute SportsCenter, anchored (from Bristol, of course) by Matt Barrie and Christine Williamson, will temporarily air in its place." That's it for now, and with the additional changes at the network -- no more SportsCenter LA -- viewers will have some things to get used to.

SportsCenter LA delivers a sweet sign-off with a very special guest
SportsCenter LA signed off on Monday night for the final time, with ESPN ending the Los Angeles-based show after 15 years on the air, along with soccer studio shows. And the sign-off was lovely, with Linda Cohn, Stan Verrett and ... Neil Everett, the anchor who was with the Worldwide Leader for 23 years and who left in 2023. "What it feels like is the greatest local station ever, because everybody knows everybody," Verrett said. "We watched families develop and we've grown up together." Cohn added that it's a family, and she thanked everybody before they all said goodbye. It was sweet and sad. Watch below: A legendary sign-off from our SportsCenter LA crew ❤️ — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) May 20, 2025 Per Sports Business Journal, here's why the show is shutting down: 'Based on our current business needs, we are relocating the L.A.-based 'SportsCenter' and soccer studio shows to ESPN's Bristol headquarters, including the limited number of employee positions related to these shows,' ESPN said in a statement to SBJ. 'The Los Angeles Production Center will continue to host ESPN's NBA studio productions and provide office space to additional L.A.-based employees.'
