Overview
- ESPN announced Monday that Cohn will retire effective June 30 and will anchor multiple SportsCenter editions on Friday, June 26 before her final broadcast.
- Reports say her contract expires at month’s end and negotiations broke down when the network shifted the 1 a.m. SportsCenter back to its Bristol, Connecticut, studio.
- Cohn, 66, joined ESPN in July 1992 and is the network’s longest‑tenured SportsCenter anchor, having hosted more than 5,000 editions by multiple counts.
- ESPN content president Burke Magnus released a statement thanking Cohn for her contributions and calling her a legend of the network.
- Her exit follows other veteran SportsCenter departures and could accelerate more local consolidation and independent projects as former anchors pursue personal media ventures.
