Colin Cowherd Nears New Contract with FS1, Plans Move to Chicago

Colin Cowherd's future with FS1 appears secure as he reportedly nears a new contract agreement, which follows the departures of prominent hosts Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. Cowherd, who joined FS1 in 2015 and has become a key figure at the network, is expected to split his time between Los Angeles and Chicago, where he recently purchased a new home. His show, The Herd, will potentially be broadcast from the Big Ten Network's studios in Chicago, allowing him to remain close to family while maintaining his role as a leading sports personality. Although the terms of the new deal have not been disclosed, Cowherd emphasized the importance of work-life balance and his wife's support in this transition. The Herd has continued to perform well despite changes in the network lineup, solidifying Cowherd's status as a staple of FS1's programming. His ongoing success is complemented by his ventures, including The Volume podcast network, which has gained significant traction in the media landscape.
