Kate Fagan

Since joining ESPN in 2012, Kate Fagan has appeared on several shows on the Family of Networks, but her main focus has been espnW where she’s written several stories. There have been times when she has been tapped for appearances on Outside the Lines, Around the Horn, First Take, His & Hers and other shows. She recently began co-hosting the weekly ESPN Radio show “The Trifecta with Spain, Jane and Kate” with Sarah Spain and Jane McManus.

ESPN has announced that Fagan will remain with the company continuing to write for espnW as well as making her various appearances across the network’s platforms. She’ll also add a new ESPN Radio program to her resumé.

It’ll be called Will & Kate, which will premiere this Sunday, and she’ll co-host with ESPN contributor Will Cain. According to the ESPN announcement, it won’t be the usual sports radio show:

The program, airing Sundays from 7 – 10 a.m. ET, will take an intellectual look at topical societal issues in sports by hosts who often find their opinions to be at opposite sides of the spectrum.

Her other show, “The Trifecta” airs on Saturdays from noon until 3 p.m. ET so Fagan will be quite busy during the weekends. And Fagan says she’s happy to be continuing there as well:

“I’m really excited to be back with ESPN, and specifically back with espnW, a place whose mission directly aligns with my passions, and with the kinds of stories I like to tell,” said Fagan. “Jane, Sarah and I all get along so well, which makes The Trifecta an interesting listen, and I think the show with Will has the ability to take listeners to new places, because we both bring such different perspectives.”

In addition to espnW, Fagan’s stories have appeared on the main ESPN.com site as well as ESPN The Magazine.
