Christmas has come early for Bomani Jones. The talented ESPN Radio afternoon radio host, and television commentator who delivers strong opinions that resonate with a diverse audience, has signed a multi-year extension with the worldwide leader in sports.
Jones joined ESPN full time in 2013, and as part of his new agreement, will continue hosting The Right Time with Bomani Jones on ESPN Radio weekdays from 4p-7p ET. He’ll also continue to co-host Highly Questionable, with Dan Le Batard and Papi, weekdays on ESPN at 4:30p ET. Jones is expected to be involved in other ESPN projects as well.
“I’m really happy to continue my relationship with ESPN,” said Jones. “I’ve spent the last three-and-a-half years working with some of the best and brightest people in sports, and it’s great to know that will continue. More than that, I’m excited about everything that will be possible in the next few years on television and continuing to build The Right Time on ESPN Radio.”
Traug Keller, senior vice president, ESPN business divisions, added, “Bomani Jones is so much more than another sports radio and television host. He brings a depth and perspective to the conversation that is singularly unique. It is a privilege to announce we are extending and building our relationship with Bomani.”
