(Audacy) Legendary broadcaster Joe Buck is set to leave Fox Sports after nearly three decades to become the new voice of Monday Night Football on ESPN, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported Friday.
Buck was granted permission Friday from Fox Sports to talk to ESPN, according to a report. A deal is expected to be inked soon and will likely be worth a staggering $60 million to $75 million, according to the report.
Buck, 52, called multiple World Series and Super Bowls for the broadcasting giant at Fox and had one year and $11 million left on his contract.
At ESPN, Buck would be reunited with partner Troy Aikman, who left Fox to join ESPN on a five-year, $92.5-million contract, according to reports.
Outside of his duties on Monday Night Football, Buck would also be involved with projects on ESPN+.
