Via New York Post:

And Michelle Beadle is officially out of ABC/ESPN’s NBA coverage. She had been leading “Countdown” when it had the top perch. Beadle, who makes $5 million per year, is expected to shortly finalize a buyout, according to sources.

The Post had reported all these developments more than a month ago. The talks between ESPN and Beadle have progressed. While ESPN announced that Jay Williams and Jalen Rose will team with Maria Taylor on “Countdown,” it didn’t specify who will be paired with Nichols.

Beadle will be quite alright working for someone else.  

Her No holds barred approach on politics didn’t jive with ESPN’s current culture.
