Michael Smith And Jemele Hill Will Be Hosting SportsCenter

Michael Smith and Jemele Hill will be putting a “His & Hers” spin on ESPN’s “Sportscenter” early next year reports Variety.

The talented sports journalists who have hosted “His & Hers” on ESPN2 since 2013 will be taking over at ESPN’s 6 p.m. “SportsCenter” slot on February 6, 2017, the day after Super Bowl LI. Now, that’s big news…

Smith and Hill will place emphasis on putting sports headlines in context, King said. “By 6 p.m. and 3 p.m. on the West Coast, we understand that audiences have pretty much come across the headlines that have happened in the course of a day, either through social content, or through mobile or digital content,” said King. “What they actually really need is a sense of why it matters, and a sense of context, as opposed to just news.
