It's a new era in the sports media world and with it, comes a lot of changes.

ESPN has gone through a ton of changes over the past couple of years. The network seems to be prioritizing its premier talent and personalities, with guys like Mike Greenberg, Stephen A. Smith and Pat McAfee seemingly making up the majority of the daily programming. With that being the case, some of the longrunning shows at the network are getting pushed to the side. In one show's case, it's become permanent.

The New York Post is reporting on Wednesday that one long-running ESPN daily show is being cancelled after 20-plus years.

The New York Post is reporting that "Around the Horn," which has been on the air for 23 years, is getting cancelled in 2025.

The show will reportedly end in summer 2025, according to Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post.

From the report:

ESPN plans to hit the mute button on “Around the Horn.” The show’s legendary run of more than two decades will conclude in the summer of 2025, sources told The Post. The Post previously reported that the show’s cancellation was under consideration by company brass.

The show was initially hosted by Max Kellerman, but Tony Reali took over in 2004 and has hosted it ever since. He's one of the longest-tenured television show hosts in sports history.

The sports debate show has featured a ton of different sports writers and personalities over the years, including Woody Paige, Tim Cowlishaw, Mina Kimes, Pablo Torre, Bomani Jones, Frank Isola, Bob Ryan and others.

The show has been produced by ESPN's Aaron Solomon for years, along with executive producer executive producer Erik Rydholm.

It's unclear at this time what will go in place of "Around the Horn," which has aired daily at 5 p.m. E.T. on ESPN, leading into "Pardon the Interruption" with Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser.
