Sarah Spain will depart the ESPN Radio “Spain & Fitz” show she co-hosted with Jason Fitz from 7-9pm eastern/4-6pm pacific on December 1.
Spain states that she will be remaining with ESPN but was wanting “to give more time & energy to other work”. At ESPN, Spain currently also serves as a writer for espnW and appears as a commentator on multiple television shows.
Spain joined the company in 2010 to host at “ESPN 1000” WMVP Chicago and then moved to the national lineup in 2015 first as a weekend host and then moved into the late-night slot with Israel Gutierrez in 2016. She and Jason Fitz were first paired in the early evening slot in 2018 before he moved to early mornings the following year with the show being rebranded as “Spain & Company” with rotating co-hosts. Fitz moved back to the evening show in August 2020. Prior to joining ESPN, Spain worked at Fox Sports Net, 720 WGN Chicago, WGN-TV, ChicagoNow.com and did freelance work for the Chicago Tribune Red Eye and The Big Ten Network.
Some News: Our last @SpainAndFitz will be 12/1.
After 12 1/2 years (!!) of being on ESPN Radio I want to give more time & energy to other work. And after 6 years of having a show 'til 8p every weeknight I'm SO ready for some mid-week happy hours, games & dinners before 9! (1/) pic.twitter.com/fNX0JETNlL
