In what appears to be a deal similar to controversial podcast star Pat McAfee’s, Rich Eisen is returning to ESPN more than two decades after leaving the sports giant to become the face of the NFL Network.
According to The Athletic, the longtime sports host will move The Rich Eisen Show from Roku to ESPN in the coming months as part of the network’s upcoming stand-alone streaming product. ESPN’s direct-to-consumer offering, which has been in the works for years and would allow viewers to skip cable subscriptions, is slated to launch this fall.
