June 30 will mark Linda Cohn’s final day at ESPN, ending a nearly 34-year tenure in which she hosted more editions of "SportsCenter" than anyone in network history.
Cohn joined ESPN in 1992 and anchored her first "SportsCenter" on July 11 that year, becoming one of the last on-air links to the show’s peak 1990s era.
ESPN said Cohn reflected on the athletes, games and colleagues she covered, while emphasizing she remained "a fan first" throughout her career.
Cohn, a former SUNY Oswego ice hockey goaltender, also highlighted her impact on women entering sports media, saying she was proud to see girls who watched her grow into the business.
Her retirement closes one of ESPN’s longest-running anchor careers and removes another familiar face from the network’s classic "SportsCenter" generation.
