Former ESPN personalities Katie Nolan and Michelle Beadle might not be media free agents for long.

Meadowlark Media CEO John Skipper, a former president of ESPN, expressed his interest in both Nolan and Beadle — just one day after Nolan announced she no longer works for ESPN.

“Yes, I enjoyed working with them. Yes, I think they’re talented. Of course, Meadowlark would be interested,” Skipper told Front Office Sports Thursday.

Skipper heads the upstart media venture with former ESPN personality Dan Le Batard. The duo has welcomed a number of ex-ESPN employees to Meadowlark, including Jemele Hill.

“I have had good experiences in the past working with both Michelle and Katie. I think they’re both very talented individuals,” Skipper said.

The creative company operates on a motto that allows its creatives to have “editorial freedom” to speak their mind — something Skipper said both Nolan and Beadle would have, if they were to commit to Meadowlark.

“At Meadowlark, we do want to recruit talented people,” Skipper said. “We’re prepared to recruit people — and give them editorial freedom — in what they say. We’re interested in people we think can range across a variety of genres. They both qualify for all that.”

Skipper brought Nolan and Beadle to ESPN in highly-publicized additions. However, in December 2017, Skipper announced his departure from ESPN as president, and admitted he had been struggling with “substance addiction.” He was with the network for 27 years before stepping down. 

At the time, Skipper said in a statement, “I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction. I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem.”

On Wednesday, Nolan announced in a series of tweets that she is no longer with ESPN, the network she joined in 2017. She hinted that her departure occurred “weeks” ago.

Nolan hosted a number of shows on ESPN, including a podcast titled, “Sports?”, and the TV show, “Always Late,” which ran on ESPN+ and later ESPN2. She re-signed with ESPN in 2020, though “Always Late” was canceled a year later.

Beadle has been out of the television business since the summer of 2019, when ESPN bought out her $5 million-a-year contract. She previously hosted ESPN’s morning show, “Get Up,” before Mike Greenberg took over. Beadle also hosted “NBA Countdown.”

On Monday, a separate report by Front Office Sports said Beadle is ready to make her sports media return — and is reportedly in talks with several suitors about about gigs ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season.
