Wide World of Women

First half of year is gone by, now that we're in the second half of the year, here's the Sports Media Predictions for rest of 2023:

Sage Steele out at ESPN amid lawsuit controversy.

SportsCenter shakeup: Nicole Briscoe and Kelsey Riggs join Kevin Negandhi for 6pm SportsCenter, Elle Duncan shifts to 11pm, Shae Cornette goes to 12pm SportsCenter, Molly McGrath and Stormy Buonantony name SportsCenter LA anchors joining Linda Cohn and Stan Verrett in addition to their CFB duties just in time for football season.

Suzy Kolber join Thursday Night Football and Amazon as studio host.

Laura Rutledge or Michelle Beisner name new host of Monday Night Countdown.

Alyssa Lang name new host of SEC Nation in addition to hosting Out of Pocket, show also shifts to studio a la 2020.

Heidi Watney and Ashley Brewer add entertainment news to their resume: Heidi to Access Hollywood replacing Kit Hoover as host, Ashley along with Julie Alexandria to Entertainment Tonight replacing Nischelle Turner as host. Heidi also remain at Apple TV Friday Night Baseball. Ashley also join CBS Sports/NFL Network as studio host.

Jade McCarthy and/or Sara Walsh return to ESPN and SportsCenter for mornings. Jade continue to do podcasts and Red Bull events, Sara also remain at NFL Network and continue to share hosting duties with Jamie Erdahl for Good Morning Football.

Kelly Saco join MLB Network as studio host for Quick Pitch in addition to Marlins duties.

CFB shakeup: Molly McGrath moves to Fowler/Herbstreit and Holly Rowe to McDonough/TBD.

Amanda Balionis Renner join Summer Sanders, Tracy Wolfson, Sarah Kustok, and more on We Need to Talk on Tuesdays.

Monica McNutt and Cassidy Hubbarth name studio hosts of NBA Today and NBA Countdown.

Unsure I see Sage Steele fired at ESPN at least not yet though I don't see her getting extended after her contract is up. Stormy would be a good choice for Sportscenter LA. Molly would have been a good choice if she was still in LA though maybe at least have her do it for a week. I would like to see Sam Steele test the Sportscenter waters or do some of these shows like First Take, This Just In if that show will continue without Max, NFL Live, and Get Up. Don't see Sarah or Jade coming back to ESPN. I'm predicting Mrs. Buck will take over for Suzy for Monday Night Countdown.
