ESPN: Linda Cohn, Longest-Serving "SportsCenter" Anchor, to Retire
She will end her run with final 6 p.m., 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. editions on June 26 after anchoring more than 5,000 shows.
Longtime SportsCenter anchor Linda Cohn announced her retirement from ESPN on Monday after 34 years, with her final broadcast set for Friday, June 26.
Since 1992, Cohn has anchored more than 5,650 editions of SportsCenter, the most in history, establishing her as a central figure in the network's flagship program.
Inducted into the National Sports Media Association Hall of Fame in 2017, Cohn contributed to NHL coverage and appeared in popular This Is SportsCenter advertising campaigns.
On Friday, Cohn will join Kevin Negandhi, Nicole Briscoe, and Trevor Scales during evening broadcasts, reconnecting with longtime co-host John Buccigross for an 11 p.m. tribute.
Not stepping away from professional pursuits entirely, Cohn stated, "I'm inspired and energized by the opportunities that lie ahead." Her story continues beyond ESPN.
