ESPN canceling popular afternoon show, replacing with Max Kellerman's new project
ESPN has been undergoing some major changes in recent years, and another one will take place later this month.
Per a release from the network, the popular afternoon program “Highly Questionable” will air for the final time on Friday, Sept. 10.
In its place will be a new online series called “Debatable”:
ESPN will be launching a new digital series Debatable, on Oct. 4. The show will be available every weekday with new 45-60 minute episodes debuting exclusively on ESPN’s Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts and the ESPN App – making it the first show the network has launched in this model.
Meanwhile, on the TV airwaves will be a new show hosted by Max Kellerman, called “This Just In”:
The live, one-hour show will provide all the latest news, opinion and analysis on the day’s trending and under-the-radar afternoon headlines and look ahead at potential news-making moments that evening. Kellerman will also regularly be joined by ESPN’s industry-leading lineup of sport-specific insiders and analysts to go inside every breaking story and development from new angles.
“This Just In” will debut on Tuesday, Sept. 14 on ESPN.
