For the Mike Francesa fans
For the Mike Francesa fans, here's what I can tell you. Fox Sports will formally announce the Colin Cowherd hire in a release later today. In that release, I think they will note that Cowherd will have his show simulcast on Fox Sports 1 in the afternoom. That show is scheduled to start Sept. 8.
My guess: What will not be in the release is what that means for Mike Francesa. But what it likely means is that Francesa's show will be migrated to Fox Sports 2 on a near-term basis. I don't know how Mike will react to this or what that means for the longterm with his relationship with Fox Sports. I emailed Fox Sports with a specific question on Francesa and no response yet. If I get something formal, I will let you know.
