After 34 years and more than 5,500 episodes anchoring sports television's longest-running program, SportsCenter, Linda Cohn decided it was time for something different. Earlier this year, Cohn was celebrated in a daylong presentation during her return to Bristol, Connecticut. Memories, tributes and a highlight package or two were included, all with a focus on the impact and legacy Cohn left on so many over her three decades of service to the network.
In the days that followed, Cohn got right back to work. The project wasn't another network or a return to her earlier days in radio. Instead, the National Sports Media Hall of Famer launched a YouTube channel dedicated to providing content that embraced the newfound freedom she gained by leaving the halls of the worldwide leader.
"The stuff that I have strong opinions on is the stuff I haven't been allowed to say," said Cohn. "The stuff that's usually trending and hot topics are the things I tend to want to discuss the most. That's the stuff that I had the gag order on every year I was with ESPN and weren't allowed to talk about."
Twice per week, Cohn now hosts The Linda Cohn Show from her palatial estate in Los Angeles. The topics can range from sports to pop culture. The opinions are her own, written and presented from the heart. Cohn has never lost her passion for sports, but she also never had a platform to truly choose and discuss her personal feelings on subject matter at length.
That's why it made all the sense in the world for Cohn to immediately enter the digital content ******* e following her ESPN departure.
