Michael Smith is expected to anchor the 6 p.m. SportsCenter broadcast by himself after Hill leaves on Friday, Feb. 2.
Controversial anchor Jemele Hill is leaving SportsCenter, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Hill, who started anchoring the 6 p.m. SportsCenter broadcast in February 2017, will stay with ESPN, where she has worked since 2006 and is a year into a four-year contract.
An ESPN representative tells TV Guide that while the network has no official comment at this time, Hill approached the network about leaving SportsCenter, not the other way around.
