Former Mountaineer Pat McAfee is moving his show from only on YouTube to ESPN, he announced on Tuesday.
In a video he released on social media, McAfee said his show will be moving from solely his YouTube channel to being televised on ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN’s YouTube channel all at the same time.
McAfee’s show has started at noon each day and it will continue to be televised at noon, following ESPN’s Get Up and First Take shows.
“Beginning this fall, our show will be live on ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN’s YouTube all at the same damn time,” McAfee said. “I wouldn’t agree to a deal if we couldn’t agree to hangout every day with the YouTube community.”
Andrew Marchand reports McAfee’s deal will mean he is walking away from his $120 million contract with FanDuel and he will be making more than $10 million per year at ESPN.
