Mark Schwarz, ESPN’s longest-tenured reporter, is retiring Monday after 32 years at the sports network. The two-time Sports Emmys winner had last signed a multi-year deal in 2018 and of late had been a fixture on the 6 p.m. SportsCenter, reporting on the news of the day on the “SC Report” segment.

“Schwarz brought a sense of storytelling and hard news reporting,” said Norby Williamson, ESPN EVP Event and Studio Production & Executive Editor, in announcing the news on ESPN’s Front Row. “He was versatile, and in many ways, set a very high standard for reporters at ESPN.”
Schwartz joined the network in July 1990 after stints as a local sports reporter/anchor Salt Lake City, Tulsa and Jacksonville, FL, and has been on the front lines of many of the biggest sports events of the past three decades.

Simpson trial, and knocking on Al Cowlings’ door at midnight; the 1997 Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield fight in which Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield’s right ear; and Super Bowl XXXVII, the one immediately following the September 11 terrorist attacks.
