FS1 Cancels Three Shows

Per Andrew Marchand of The Athletic, Taylor is out at Fox Sports. Taylor’s contract was reportedly up, and the network decided against renewing it.
Taylor’s show, Speak, and two other morning shows — Breakfast Ball and The Facility — have been canceled.
“The three shows struggled to find a huge audience, prompting the cancellations, according to sources briefed on the decision,” Marchand wrote.
Taylor’s name has been mentioned in several recent scandals at Fox. Former Fox executive Charlie Dixon was accused of sexual harassment and battery.
Make-up artist Noushin Farajj brought forward the accusations in a lawsuit. In the suit, Farajii claims that Dixon “grabbed her buttocks” while attending a West Hollywood party in January 2017. When Farajii told Taylor, the Speak host said to “get over it.”
Farajii also accused Taylor of having an affair with Dixon. Then, Farajii revealed that Taylor had plans to accuse Dixon of sexual assault at a later date.
Taylor has denied the allegations. Dixon has not worked for Fox since the spring.
Taylor joined FS1 in 2016 in multiple roles, including a fill-in host and eventual moderator for Skip and Shannon: Undisputed. In 2018, Taylor joined The Herd with Colin Cowherd.
Taylor has been a co-host of Speak since 2022. Speak’s current lineup consists of Taylor, Keyshawn Johnson, and Paul Pierce.
Speak aired at 5 p.m. ET on FS1.
The Facility is a sports show hosted by four former NFL players: Emmanuel Acho, Chase Daniel, James Jones, and LeSean McCoy. The show aired weekdays at 10 a.m. ET.
Breakfast Ball was FS1’s early-morning show featuring Craig Carton, Mark Schlereth, and Danny Parkins.
The Facility and Breakfast Ball did not last a full year on the air.
Marchand’s report states that Johnson and Parkins could be featured on new shows.
The Herd with Colin Cowherd and First Things First will remain on FS1.
Could Craig Carton Return To WFAN?
For my New York people: Craig Carton back to FAN watch begins. In story. 👀 https://t.co/Sh2lsD2q2R

Carton could be eyeing a return to radio after his second show failed with FS1.
After spending over a year in prison for wire fraud and securities fraud, Carton returned to WFAN in 2020 to host the afternoon drive show with Evan Roberts.
After a year of hosting an FS1 morning show with his afternoon drive show, Carton officially left WFAN in June 2023.
With Carton no longer hosting Breakfast Ball, “a return to WFAN is not out of the question.”
Roberts currently hosts the afternoon drive show with Tiki Barber. It’s unknown what Carton would host if he does return.
