ESPN's Michelle Beadle Leaving 'Get Up!' For Expanded 'NBA Countdown' Role

Michelle Beadle has extended her contract with ESPN, but will no longer co-host Get Up!, the network announced in a release Friday.

ESPN's NBA Countdown show is returning to Los Angeles after moving its production to New York last year. Beadle will serve as the show's host for a third straight season and will also be part of ESPN's new NBA post-game show, After The Buzzer. In addition, the Worldwide Leader is launching a new pregame show called NBA Courtside, a 15-minute tipoff show that will air following NBA Countdown ahead of game coverage.
