Peacock has announced its first original sports talk program, Brother From Another with Holley and Smith. Longtime friends and journalists Michael Holley and Michael Smith will co-executive produce the and co-host the show, which will have new episodes each weekday afternoon. They’ll discuss the latest news across sport, culture, entertainment, and politics.  It’ll stream on the NBC Sports on Peacock channel at a yet-to-be-announced date in September. The NBC Sports on Peacock channel is an exclusive new addition to the free channels on Peacock.

“Michael and I couldn’t be more excited to join the Peacock family,” Michael Smith said. “When coming up with our show’s name and thinking about the vibe we wanted to create, we kept coming back to just that—family—and to this brotherhood. We want this show and the conversations between us and with our guests to feel relatable—literally. As in if you’re giving us time out of your day, then you’re family to us. And since Peacock is free, all are most definitely welcome.”

“Mike and I go back more than 20 years, so viewers will immediately sense our authenticity and honesty with one another,” said Michael Holley. “We became colleagues by covering similar events in sports. We became brothers when we shared our experiences in that space, as well as other aspects of our lives. We’re excited to now bring our discussions to Peacock.”

The two met years ago when both were at the Boston Globe. Holley is currently host and columnist for NBC Sports Boston. Smith had a 15-year tenure at ESPN where he started as an NFL reporter and then became the co-host of His & Hers.
