After 34 years, SportsCenter anchor Linda Cohn is retiring from ESPN next week.
Linda Cohn Retiring
Cohn has hosted over 5,500 editions of SportsCenter, the most ever, since 1992.
Tuesday, June 30 will be her last day. She will appear on the evening editions of SportsCenter on Friday and connect with longtime co-host John Buccigross at the NHL draft.
Cohn has done play-by-play for the WNBA and was involved in NHL studio shows. She was inducted into the National Sports media Hall of Fame in 2017.
“What I’m most proud of is that my career lasted long enough for me to see little girls grow up watching SportsCenter, enter this business and succeed in it,” Cohn said in a statement.
“Linda Cohn is a legend and a major part of the history of ESPN,” said ESPN president Burke Magnus. “She has brought enthusiasm, personality and her love of sports to our audience for more than 30 years and her contributions to ESPN both in front of and behind the camera would make a very long list. We wish her all the best in her retirement and sincerely thank her.”
