Former ESPN executive Norby Williamson has a new home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a nearly four-decade stint with the Worldwide Leader, Williamson is joining Main Street Sports Group to oversee production for FanDuel Sports Network, according to a report from Awful Announcing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Main Street Sports Group, formerly Diamond Sports Group, holds regional sports rights to 13 NBA, eight NHL, and eight MLB teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company also has a new single-game streaming deal with Amazon in addition to the RSNs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Williamson\u2019s newest venture comes after he worked his way up from the mailroom in 1985 to one of ESPN\u2019s top executives before his exit last April.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In his most recent role for the network, Williamson oversaw NFL and college football live game and studio content as the company\u2019s executive editor and head of event and studio production.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmost 40 years ago in 1985, I was so very fortunate to be offered an opportunity at ESPN,\u201d Williamson said in a memo to staff obtained by The Post after leaving the outlet.<\/p>\n
\u201cDue to the exceptional hard work, creativity and commitment of the people at ESPN, and to a much lesser extent my contributions, I\u2019d like to think we\u2019ve left our great company in a far better place than we found it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Williamson reportedly butted heads with ESPN president of content Burke Magnus, disagreeing on the network\u2019s long-term strategy, leading to him parting ways with the long-time executive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last January, Pat McAfee called out Williamson on the air, adding to a long list of run-ins with ESPN talent over the years, including Stuart Scott, Jemele Hill, Dan Patrick and Dan Le Batard, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As part of ESPN\u2019s president Jimmy Pitaro\u2019s inner circle, Williamson played a key role in \u201cSportsCenter\u201d since moving up in the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
