The video version of ESPN.com's "SportsNation" is getting quite a facelift in time for the New Year. The hourlong show, which airs @ 4P (CT) weekday afternoons on ESPN2, is undergoing a Hollywood-style facelift as it prepares to relaunch next month. That might be a clue in itself...

The show has packed its bags, leaving their homebase in Bristol, CT for new digs in Los Angeles. The show will originate from the same L.A. complex adjacent to STAPLES Center where the 10P (PT)/Midnight (CT) latenight "SportsCenter" and ESPN/ABC's "NBA Countdown" already call home. It will do so with a new co-host, too.

Charissa Thompson, who replaced Michelle Beadle last summer when Beadle bolted for NBC, will continue co-hosting "SN" weekdays from the show's new home in L.A. However, original co-host Colin Cowherd from ESPN Radio's "The Herd" middays, will not follow the show out West. Cowherd will stay in Connecticut to devote full time to "The Herd" Monday-Friday on ESPN Radio, but will be replaced by Marcellus Nas.

The former defensive tackle played in the NFL for 10 seasons from 1997-2006 with the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, San Diego Chargers & Jacksonville Jaguars. Nas currently co-hosts an afternoon sports talk radio show on ESPN Radio's L.A. station as well as serves as one of the network's many NFL analysts. Nas occasionally filled in for Cowherd on "SN", and co-hosted "Winners Bracket" with Beadle, a "SN" spinoff from 2010-12 on ABC Saturday afternoons after college football season ended. The new "SN" with Thompson & Nas will make its debut on January 7th on ESPN2.

Speaking of Beadle, she'll soon have a new show of her own. Beadle revealed to ShermanReport.com via a recent podcast that she'll soon debut her brand new show called "The Crossover" on NBC Sports Network. Although she wouldn't say who would co-host the new show, described as a mixture of sports & pop culture, Beadle's new show will debut during Super Bowl Week in a late afternoon time slot to be determined direct from the Super Bowl city in New Orleans. It'll be her first work since serving as one of the many hosts of NBC Universal's coverage of the Summer Olympics in London.
