Could ESPN Have Done Anything to Keep Michelle Beadle From Jumping to NBC?
ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings Jason McIntyre May 11th. 2012, 3:12pm
A few weeks ago, as new ESPN executive VP of production John Wildhack began to tinker with ideas on how to retain the outspoken host of SportsNation, Michelle Beadle, he was flooded with opinions. Should ESPN get her an afternoon show of her own? What about a 30-minute version of SportsNation with Colin Cowherd? How much work can Good Morning America give her to supplement her ESPN duties?
Ultimately, no package ESPN/ABC could come up with was enough. Early next week, Beadle is expected to make it official – she’s going to NBC and joining the entertainment TV show Access Hollywood.
Even though she told me Thursday the Sports by Brooks initial NBC report was “not accurate,” sources close to Beadle say it is virtually a done deal. Her agent in the negotiations, Andy Elkin of CAA, wouldn’t comment when reached on his cell phone Thursday.
===============
Can't say I blame her. Huge raise, AND she gets to get away from Cowturd
