Linda Cohn is set to retire from ESPN on June 30, ending a nearly 34-year run with the sports network. Multiple outlets report that she is ESPN’s longest-tenured SportsCenter anchor and has hosted more editions of the program than any other anchor in the company’s history. Cohn has been a fixture on the desk since July 1992, and her retirement date is described as the end of a long era for SportsCenter. Yahoo Sports notes that Cohn and ESPN were unable to agree on a suitable role for her going forward after she decided to leave, citing an earlier report. Following the announcement, tributes and remembrances from sports media figures and fans circulated across outlets, reflecting her long-standing presence in sports television. Reports consistently characterize her career as record-setting in terms of both length and the number of SportsCenter broadcasts she has hosted. ESPN has not been described in the provided coverage as announcing a specific replacement or a new role for her after retirement.
