ESPNEWS Gametime is a news/analysis and up to the minute highlight show that airs on ESPNEWS. Debuting on September 5, 2006, the program airs Monday-Thursday from 8pm ET-12am ET and Friday from 9pm ET-12am ET. On Fridays, it is pushed back one hour to make room for Football Friday. Gametime as they call it for short, replaced ESPNEWS Early Evening (which is still seen on Saturdays), which is regular news and highlights. ESPNEWS Gametime is made up of 30-minute blocks throughout the program.
During the show, the two anchors for that night updates scores, highlights, are joined by analysts to discuss different topics, show live postgame press conferences and player comments, are joined by players via phone and go over all of the top stories of the day.
