The buzzer could be sounding in the distance for “Around the Horn.”
The daily ESPN sports talk show, which debuted in 2002, is facing an uncertain long-term future, The Post has learned.
Several sources believe that the show will come to an end on ESPN before the 2025 football season.
A reason for the show’s potential end was not immediately available.
An ESPN spokesperson declined to comment.
The show, hosted by Tony Reali — who took over for the original host Max Kellerman in 2004 — features a rotating cast of pundits getting scored on debate points about the sports topics of the day.
Since its inception, it has been a part of the “happy hour” block with “Pardon the Interruption” from 5-6 p.m. ET daily.
“Around the Horn” panelists over the years have included — and in many cases still include — Bob Ryan, Tim Cowlishaw, Jay Mariotti, Mina Kimes, Woody Paige, J.A. Adande, Pablo Torre, Frank Isola, Jemele Hill and Michael Smith.
