To replace the departing Jim Rome, ESPN is giving viewers an extra half-hour of the Mike and Mike show.
The Best of Mike and Mike, a condensed re-air of Mike and Mike in the Morning, will expand to a full hour on ESPN2 starting January 30. The show will continue to air at 2 PM ET.
As a result, the other ESPN2 daytime shows will move back by a half hour. Best of First Take (currently titled 1st and 10) will move to 3:30 PM, Numbers Never Lie will move to 4:00 PM, and the Dan Le Batard show will move to 4:30 PM.
NASCAR Now will fill the 3:00 PM timeslot starting next month.
Jim Rome is Burning will air its final episode on January 27. Rome has joined CBS Sports, where he will host a new, eponymous talk show on CBS Sports Network starting April 3.
