As of today Sage Steele is now a co-host of SC AM alongside Jay Harris and Randy Scott.
Lisa Kerney is now the co-anchor of SC 10 AM -12 PM weekdays.

What happened to Lindsay Czarniak? She was on the am SC briefly.

I suggest Lindsay might move to SC at Night soon.

I wish they kept Toni Collins as SC anchor. I should think Dianna should have as well and Cassidy.

More SC changes again.
Max Bretos as left the 10AM-12PM edition of SC to do soccer play by play in LA.
Not sure who they are going to pair with Lisa Kerney.
Cari Champion has left SC moving to LA to co-host SportsNation.
Michelle Beadle has moved to NYC to host the new ESPN Morning show that starts April 2nd.
Not sure where Sage Steele goes when SC AM is replaced by the new morning show.

Actually, SC AM moves to ESPN2 next month. As for who's pairing for Lisa Kerney, I would suggest Nicole Briscoe, Dianna Russini, and/or possibly Lindsay Czarniak who left ESPN last year after her contract expired to be paired with Lisa. I would also suggest couple of college football sideline reporters like Molly McGrath and Laura Rutledge to join SportsCenter anchors permanently. Laura did SportsCenter filling in for Cari Champion last month, so I would be surprised if Laura would do SportsCenter, Finebaum, and other SEC Network gigs in the near future.

That would be nice, both Laura and Molly Mac have anchor experience (though Molly wasn't on America's Pregame that much though she hosted College Football Live). However Michele Steele hasn't anchored in two years.

Also, Dianna Russini hasn't anchored in almost a year. I think Molly and Laura would be great additions to SportsCenter in the coming weeks and months ahead.

Michael Smith is leaving the 6, today is his last day.

Honestly probably not a surprise, ESPN should have keep them on His and Hers not experimented with this. Also it means hopefully two new spots are open and maybe a female anchor.

I was hoping for this kind of news.
Michael Smith was not a good fit to begin with.

With Jade McCarthy, Jaymee Sire, and Lindsay Czarniak all doing other pursuits, here is hoping we get to see possibly Molly McGrath and maybe Linda Cohn do the 6.

Don't know if Jade and Lindsay are doing anything, I know Jaymee is working at Food Network. What about Elle Duncan? I'm surprised she's still on weekends.

I'd be surprised if Jade do the 7AM SC on weekends while Elle possibly on leave of absence and/or Lindsay possibly do 6PM SC again. That would bring back couple of ESPN folks from layoffs.

Whose doing the 6 PM Sportscenter now? I know Lisa and Laura did the 10 AM to noon SC the past two days and I think David was solo.

Now with Get Up repeat on ESPN 2 10 to 1, looks like the 10 AM to Noon is done.

In case y'all haven't noticed, Laura Rutledge is on 12pm SportsCenter with Nicole Briscoe on ESPN with reruns on ESPNews from 1pm-3pm. Lisa Kerney hasn't been on SC in almost a month. I'm pretty sure that Laura and Lisa are possibly the new team of the 6pm SportsCenter as long as there's no layoffs as it was last year.

Guessing Laura's sideline days are done or at least all but. Should be interested what happens if ESPN does make her an anchor. Remember her from her days covering the Tampa Bay Rays (and her replacement was Kelly Nash prior to her MLB/NHL Network days).

I'm pretty sure her sideline days are done if ESPN make her a 6pm or morning SportsCenter anchor. She did great in recent weeks there.
