“The Rich Eisen Show” will be the new centerpiece of ESPN Radio, with its program airing nationally from noon-3 p.m. ET beginning Sept. 2, sources briefed on the move told The Athletic.

Rich Eisen, another former ESPN anchor, followed a similar path. After leaving ESPN in 2003, Eisen became the face of the NFL Network before launching The Rich Eisen Show in 2014.

DeVito said that it was a treasure to be part of — and he continues to see his old friends, including Douglas, Lloyd and, of course, Nicholson, who played the protagonist, R.P. McMurphy.
