Chris Berman changing role at ESPN
Chris Berman isn’t disappearing from in front of the cameras or from behind the microphones.
He’s simply stepping to the side a bit.
The longtime ESPN fixture is giving up his regular on-air NFL and baseball spots for a new role at the network.
Berman, who joined ESPN one month after it launched in 1979, will make occasional appearances on-air and will also serve as a spokesman for the network at some of its events. He will continue to host ESPN’s “NFL PrimeTime” highlights show from the field after the Super Bowl this year, as well as after the conference championship games, before stepping aside from his usual duties.
