Fox Sports has terminated its contract with Joy Taylor, ending her nine-year tenure at the network. This decision is part of a broader restructuring at FS1, Fox Sports' cable division, which included the cancellation of three daily shows: "Speak," co-hosted by Taylor along with Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce; "Breakfast Ball," featuring Craig Carton, Mark Schlereth, and Danny Parkins; and "The Facility," hosted by Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy, James Jones, and Chase Daniel. The cancellations follow reports that these programs struggled with low ratings. Taylor's departure also comes months after she was named in a sexual harassment lawsuit linked to Fox Sports. The network's shakeup affects several former NFL players and on-air talents, including Michael Irvin and others. Sources indicate that FS1 is considering new programming opportunities for personalities such as Tony Reali, Max Kellerman, and Kay Adams as part of the daytime lineup overhaul.
