“‘Wake Up Barstool’ is a great addition to FS1’s daily lineup,” FOX Sports president and chief operating officer Mark Silverman, said in a statement. “Barstool has built a passionate audience by speaking to sports fans in a way that’s bold and original. Bringing that voice to mornings gives viewers a fresh, authentic way to start their day.”

“Launching ‘Wake Up Barstool’ on FS1 is a huge step for us,” Portnoy added. “We’ve built a community that talks about sports the way fans actually do, and now we get to do it every morning on national television. It’s Barstool, unfiltered, the way it’s meant to be.”
“Wake Up Barstool” will be the first piece of original programming to air on FS1 each weekday. “The Herd” will continue in its usual noon-3 p.m. ET timeslot, while “First Things First” will air from 3-6 p.m. ET after the show was officially extended by an hour on Monday.
