One of FOX Sports' top talents could be jumping ship to ESPN.
According to Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated, FOX host Katie Nolan is trying to get an early release from her contract with the network. Deitsch says that Nolan's contract is scheduled to end this year, and speculates that ESPN is the logical landing spot.
From Deitsch:
"Multiple sources have told Sports Illustrated that Nolan is negotiating an early release from her Fox Sports contract. Her contract is believed to officially conclude at the end of 2017. The formal release is expected to come soon."
Nolan joined the FOX Sports broadcasting division in 2013, and was eventually given her own show in 2015. Garbage Time with Katie Nolan won a Sports Emmy for 'Outstanding Social TV Experience' in 2016, but the show was cancelled just a year later after FOX had moved the program around in their lineup several times.
