ESPN shakes up struggling morning show 'Get Up!', reassigns Michelle Beadle

ESPN quietly reshuffled its struggling new morning show “Get Up!” on Friday, removing the polarizing Michelle Beadle from the program and rewarding her with a contract extension and an expanded role on the network’s NBA coverage.

“Get Up!” ‒ which premiered on April 2 after months of buildup ‒ has been mocked for dismal ratings and a lack of chemistry between co-hosts Mike Greenberg, former NBA star Jalen Rose and Beadle. The widely panned show struggles to reach 300,000 viewers on most days.

ESPN also announced that an hour of “Get Up!” would be sliced off, as the beleaguered show will now air from 8 to 10 a.m. after originally kicking off at 7 a.m.

Beadle will relocate from New York to Los Angeles to host “NBA Countdown."

Welp.

It's safe to say that Get Up was/is an unmitigated disaster.

 

[B Sox]

Get Up is buns, but I do agree with the sentiment that some folks have had about how they should at least wait til football comes back to see what the ratings look like then.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Never even attempted to check out Get up

I listened to the podcast during my commute to and from work. Interesting to say the least.
