Sources: Jason Whitlock To Join Fox Sports, Have FS1 Presence

Jason Whitlock has agreed to join Fox Sports, according to several sources. The deal will give Whitlock a presence on TV in a late afternoon timeslot on FS1. He also will have a presence on Fox Sports’ digital apps, sources said. Fox Sports would not comment. An announcement is expected as early as tomorrow, sources said.

Last week, ESPN bought out Whitlock’s contract. He had been with ESPN for a little more than two years, hired to head up a race-focused website that still has not launched. After getting out of his ESPN contract, Whitlock went to Twitter to say that he would let people know his plans by Wednesday. The move was engineered by former ESPN exec and current Fox Sports National Networks President Jamie Horowitz.
