Eventually, someone at ESPN figured out that college football fans wanted more College GameDay. Well, that’s what someone higher up must have thought because the World Wide Leader In Sports announced Monday that they would be adding an extra hour to the program.

Beginning Sept. 4, College Gameday will kick off at 9 a.m. to noon ET.

The first hour of the show will be televised on ESPNU and then move to ESPN for the 10 a.m. to noon portion of the show. It will still originate from the site of the day’s best game.

The new three-hour College GameDay will still feature host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Demond Howard but Erin Andrews will join the lineup anchoring part of the show’s segments in the first hour.
She will also work as the sideline reporter during the game if it is on an ESPN network. And if that weren’t enough, she will do segments for ABC’s Good Morning America.

“Millions of fans can start their college football Saturdays an hour earlier and the ever-expanding ESPNU offers the perfect home for more award-winning College GameDay,” said Norby Williamson, ESPN executive vice president, production. “As part of the new lineup, we’re thrilled to announce an enhanced role for Erin Andrews that includes GameDay, while some of our most prominent college football personalities will have new and expanded responsibilities.”
