Linda Cohn is retiring from ESPN after nearly 34 years with the network, multiple outlets report. Widely credited as ESPN’s longest-tenured SportsCenter anchor, Cohn hosts (or has hosted) more episodes of “SportsCenter” than any other anchor in the company’s history. Sources say she joined ESPN in 1992 and has been a regular presence at the desk for much of that period. Reporting also indicates her final appearance comes at the end of June, with one outlet citing June 30 and another describing her last broadcast as Friday. ESPN plans to mark her retirement with an on-site celebration at its headquarters in Bristol, according to one report. Several stories note that Cohn has continued to be a prominent figure in sports media beyond day-to-day hosting, and that tributes from colleagues and industry figures follow the announcement of her departure. While some accounts refer to her future plans in general terms, the coverage overall focuses on the end date and her record-setting tenure and episode count on “SportsCenter.”
