ESPN has made massive changes to its broadcasting schedule – and it concerns the popular The Pat McAfee Show.
The former NFL punter-turned-TV pundit Pat McAfee revealed he will be taking a live television break from his program on Monday.
The Pat McAfee Show was broadcast live at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans last week.
The hit program brought on plenty of guests throughout the week.
The Philadelphia Eagles went on to claim the 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and McAfee’s self-titled program was back at their usual studio space in Indianapolis the following day.
McAfee informed TV viewers that the show will take 12 weekdays off until the NFL Combine, which begins on February 27.
The NFL Combine happens to take place in Indy, and McAfee’s self-titled show will be back giving his NFL takes and opinions on the first day of the week-long draft prospect showcase.
So on Tuesday, ESPN broadcast SportsCenter from 12:00 to 3:00 pm Eastern.
The Pat McAfee Show airs each weekday and airs from 12:00 to 2:00 pm.
Social media users reacted to McAfee’s 17-day break.
“Bummed out about The Pat McAfee Show is off for 17 days till the NFL combine,” one wrote.
“NO MCAFEE TIL THE 27th!??! WTFFFF NOO,” another commented.
“Just being honest….my middays are not the same when the @PatMcAfeeShow is not on ESPN. I know they are taking a well deserved break….so I actually watched Monday’s show again just to get my fix…..” a third stated.
“Missing you @patmcafeeshow” a fourth added.
SportsCenter will replace McAfee’s timeslot throughout the week.
McAfee doesn’t usually take hiatuses on live television.
But when he does, it comes after a hectic football broadcasting schedule.
Last month, McAfee, who has a huge role in ESPN’s college football coverage, took a Friday off to recharge for the NFL playoffs.
He also had to prepare for another round of the College Football Playoffs.
McAfee is known for mostly covering the NFL and college football landscape during his afternoon show, which is aired live both on ESPN and YouTube.
