Changes Coming to ESPN2 Afternoon Line-Up

With the departure later this month of Jim Rome to CBS Sports, ESPN is changing around its afternoon line-up of shows on ESPN2.

Beginning January 30th, ESPN Audio’s Mike & Mike in the Morning, will expand to one hour beginning at 2:00p.m. ET. NASCAR Now will move into the 3:00p.m. ET slot beginning February 13th. Existing ESPN2 weekday shows will see their times shift with Best of First Take (rebranded from 1st and 10) airing at 3:30 p.m.; Numbers Never Lie (4 p.m.) and Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable (4:30 p.m.). SportsNation remains in its 5 p.m. slot.

Here is the revamped line-up in table form:
