ESPN is producing a sports-oriented news program loosely based on the “60 Minutes” format.

The show, called “ESPN Reports,” will feature a rotation of correspondents, longform investigations, interviews and even an Andy Rooney-style commentary at the end of the show.

“ESPN Reports” would give ESPN reporters a chance to take a starring role at the network, which until now has typically only shined the spotlight on its “SportsCenter” anchors.

The new show is slated to debut on October 16, following “SportsCenter.”
