ESPN and WABC Announce 2024 TCS New York City Marathon Broadcast Schedule for November 3 Race

The marathon will be televised live across ESPN platforms nationally and WABC-TV locally, with new live afternoon show airing nationally on ABC

ESPN and ABC7/WABC-TV today announced the broadcast schedule for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon taking place Sunday, November 3. Marathon programming will air on ESPN2/ESPN3/ESPN Deportes and ABC7/WABC-TV, which have been home to the TCS New York City Marathon’s award-winning broadcast since 2013.

As part of the recently renewed NYRR and WABC/ESPN deal, coverage this year will include a new, national live show on ABC from 3-5pm ET on Sunday, Nov. 3. The program – Live from the TCS New York City Marathon – will feature live looks from the finish line and course, highlighting the 50,000+ runners that will finish the race following the four professional divisions. ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap, host of E60 and The Sports Reporters, will join the marathon’s broadcast team this year as lead reporter of the new national show, and ESPN SportsCenter Anchor Hannah Storm and ESPN Running Events Commentator John Anderson will return to the broadcast.

“The New York City Marathon is one of the great competitions in the world of sports and race day is one of the most exciting milestones on the Gotham calendar,” says Jeremy Schaap. “It really is a de facto holiday. As a born and bred New Yorker, I cherish it for the way it draws the world to the greatest city on the planet and at the same time brings the people of Fun City together. And there are as many stories as there are runners, which means for those of us in the storytelling business it is a kind of motherlode.”
