Just announced by the man himself on “Olbermann,” the ESPN2 show will be moving from 11 p.m. to midnight on ESPN, his old stomping grounds starting on Thursday, April 17. It will be for six nights only.
He’s back to the Mothership. Now if he brings back Dan Patrick for one of those nights, it might be quite interesting. It won’t happen though.
If I had to speculate, this move is to have the ESPN audience sample his show in hopes of bringing some eyeballs to ESPN2 when the six night shift is over.
Interesting move.
