Bomani Jones and ESPN have officially agreed to a new contract extension that will keep the host and commentator with the network.
The Right Time with Bomani Jones podcast will continue to publish three times per week under the new agreement. He’ll also continue to make appearances on ESPN Radio and contribute to the network’s television studio lineup, including SportsCenter, First Take, and Pardon The Interruption among others.
“I’m very happy to continue The Right Time with ESPN,” said Jones. “I remain indebted to everyone who has worked to build the podcast, particularly my producer Gabe Basayne.”
Jones told podcast listeners in July that he didn’t know when he would return, after stepping aside for vacation time. Barrett Sports Media reported his contract was slated to expire during his time away. BSM also reported Jones and ESPN had agreed to a new deal when the podcast returned in September.
“Bomani is a leading voice in the audio space and has created a signature podcast with The Right Time that strongly resonates with fans and has only continued to grow,” ESPN Vice President of Digital Production Mike Foss said. “He is an impactful contributor across our lineup and we are excited to have him continue with ESPN.”
