ESPN's SportsCenter is rocked by MASSIVE Microsoft outage as cable giant is forced to replace iconic morning program with a radio show
ESPN's SportsCenter is the latest victim of Friday's Microsoft outage – the same bug that crashed Sky Sports in the UK, the Sphere in Las Vegas, and ticket sales for major Premier League clubs such as Manchester United.
Instead of The World Wide Leader's typical morning programming, both ESPN and ESPN 2 aired ESPN Radio's Unsportsmanlike with Freddie Coleman and Courtney Cronin.
On X, Cronin wrote that her and her co-host would be occupying ESPN's airwaves 'for at least the next hour.'
However, SportsCenter remained off the air more than an hour after Cronin's 7am EST post on X.
DailyMail.com has been informed that ESPN is working to restore production.

Las Vegas' Sphere, home of the 2024 NHL Draft, was also impacted by the Microsoft outage
Sky Sports News crashed on Friday in the UK morning after the major tech failure, with the outage sparking chaos across the world.
Hospitals, train services, banks, stock exchanges and TV channels were all knocked offline in the UK.
Manchester United had been planning to start selling tickets ahead of the new Premier League season, but their ticketing website was unavailable, with sales initially postponed until midday before later being rescheduled for 10am on Monday.
A statement from the Official Manchester United Matchday account read: 'Unfortunately, due to a global Microsoft Servers outage which is affecting many systems, including ours, this morning's ticket release will be postponed until midday.
This incident is not considered a hacking attack.
'This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed,' Cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz said in a post on social media.
Crowdstrike has produced a solution for the issue, Kurtz said.
Similarly, Microsoft claims to have fixed the underlying issue that impacted the company's software across a number of platforms.
