Paul Finebaum Moving to ESPN

The voice of the Southeastern Conference will return to the airwaves on August 1 of this year according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Paul Finebaum will move his radio show to ESPN Radio affiliates primarily in the Southeast and the show will be simulcast on the new SEC Network when it launches in August of 2014.

According to the report, Finebaum will move from his longtime home in Birmingham to Charlotte, N.C., the home of the ESPNU and the soon to be SEC Network.

While the financials of the agreement were not disclosed, Finebaum's initial contract with ESPN is reported to be for five years.

"It would be the understatement of my life to say I wasn't thrilled," Finebaum told the Wall Street Journal. "It is incredibly exciting to be part of a new adventure, particularly one that involves the premiere brand in sports along with the pre-eminent conference in sports."
