Fox Sports 1
Fox Sports 1 is set to enter its post-Skip Bayless era this fall and the debut of their new Undisputed-less line-up certainly hasn’t stoked any excitement from sports fans. Still, given the cratering viewership of Undisputed since Shannon Sharpe departed the program in 2023, there could be a school of thought that FS1 can only go up from here.
Taking over the 10-12 slot left by Undisputed will be The Facility, which features Emmanuel Acho (genuinely one of the most obnoxious voices in sports media), LeSean McCoy, James Jones, and Chase Daniel.
Another notable addition to the Fox Sports 1 daily line-up is the new morning series Breakfast Ball with Craig Carton, Mark Schlereth, and Danny Parkins.
Elsewhere, Colin Cowherd and Jason McIntyre will continue to host The Herd with Colin Cowherd from Noon to 3 p.m. EST, followed by First Things First with Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes, and then concluding with Speak, hosted by Joy Taylor, Keyshawn Johnson, and Paul Pierce from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST.
“Sweet! Just as bad as the last era,” one sports fan joked on social media.
“McCoy and Acho in your prime 10 a.m. slot is submitting to getting owned by First Take,” stated another.

“FS1 is evolving around a dynamic roster of sports talk personalities, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead,” FS1 Executive Vice President and Head of Content Charlie Dixon said in an official statement announcing the new lineup.
“From early morning to late afternoon, viewers can look forward to an array of compelling sports discussions, expert analysis and exclusive interviews, all designed to keep sports enthusiasts informed and entertained throughout the day.”
Breakfast Ball will debut at Noo for its first week before slotting into its usual 8 a.m. timeslot beginning on Tuesday, September 3. Similarly, Speak will also make its return for the 2024 fall season on September 3.
