ESPN’s popular game show “Around the Horn” aired its final episode on Friday after nearly two decades. Former host Tim Cowlishaw reflected on his experience, expressing gratitude for the opportunity and acknowledging that the network has shifted its focus towards hiring athletes over journalists. The show’s format featured four journalists discussing current sports topics, but ESPN is now prioritizing former athletes like Pat McAfee, Jason Kelce, Kendrick Perkins, and Ryan Clark. As Cowlishaw departed, he wished the new show in the 5 p.m. ET hour the best, hoping it will bring as much joy and smiles to its viewers over the next 22 years. The network has not announced what show will take the time slot.
