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."
