Former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Stan Verrett has found a new home with FanDuel Sports Network.
Verrett will be the pregame and postgame studio host for the Los Angeles Clippers and will also have a weekday show on the collection of regional sports networks starting this fall, a source told Front Office Sports. A spokesperson for FanDuel Sports Network declined to comment.
The move reunites Verrett with Norby Williamson, the president of production at Main Street Sports Group (the parent company of the FanDuel networks), who was a longtime top executive at ESPN. Verrett’s weekday show will join a lineup that also includes fellow former ESPN talent Mike Golic and Mike Golic Jr. Williamson is striving to add household names and original content to the networks.
FanDuel Sports Network comprises the regional sports networks that were formerly called the Bally networks, and prior to that were the collection of Fox Sports regional networks.
As FOS first reported, Verrett departed ESPN this past summer after 25 years at the network.
In addition to his new job with FanDuel Sports Network, Verrett is hosting a talk show with Neil Everett, his longtime former partner on late-night SportsCenter. Verrett has also become the host of the New Orleans Saints’ digital pregame coverage.
Clippers pregame and postgame studio coverage was previously hosted by Jeanne Zelasko.
