This will allow for much more advertising opportunities, as well as giving Colin Cowherd another platform to go on his daily rants about sports news.

“We’re in an on-demand world,” Cowherd said via Bloomberg. “You can do real-time commentary now with no barriers. I don’t have to drive to a studio, don’t have to put makeup on. I don’t have to go to a studio and get miked up.

“This will be the rawest, most authentic version of me. It’s me at home.”
