Cold Pizza was notable for having its own version of ESPN's BottomLine, as their ticker not only gave sports scores, but also news headlines and weather forecasts from sports cities and is shown in its own color scheme. It also functioned differently: it constantly scrolled, while other ESPN "BottomLines" usually "flip" through the different scores, scrolling only for long statistical lines. This graphic was discontinued in the summer of 2006, and the "BottomLine" now resembles those of other ESPN programs, as noted in the "Format" section below.

The program has gone on site for games and events quite often. On the road shows have included trips to Super Bowls XXXIX and XL and the Caesars Palace hotel and casino in Las Vegas.

Moving to Bristol

On January 25, 2007 MediaWeek reported that ESPN would announce Cold Pizza's move from New York to the ESPN Campus in Bristol, CT.[2] In addition to being able to produce the program in high definition, officials hope that bringing the show in-house will enhance it by allowing more live appearances by ESPN analysts (as opposed to satellite interviews). However, the move will reduce the amount of live appearances by celebrities and non-sports figures. January 25 is the 25th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Format

A portion of the Cold Pizza set

From the show's inception through 2005, its format was similar to traditional network television morning shows such as Good Morning America and The Today Show, featuring discussion among the hosts on entertainment and sports topics. After poor initial ratings, the format was changed to be similar to that of SportsCenter and Pardon the Interruption, including sports headlines, analysis, and debate. Because of the format change, hosts Hoover and Maxie were let go due to lack of a sports journalism background, and Jacobson, Paige, and Bayless joined. Co-host Andrews was transferred by ESPN to Los Angeles to host ESPN2's new evening entertainment news show, ESPN Hollywood. That show was canceled in January of 2006, and Andrews remained with ESPN until November 2006, when she left the company to work as a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

This is followed by the "Morning Headlines," which include about four or five news items from around sports. The headline segment is repeated at the top of the second hour.

At 20 and 40 past the first and second hour, Crawford, Bayless and a guest contributor are featured in a segment entitled "1st and 10". The "Morning Slice," a look at offbeat sports video, is also featured at about 15 past the first hour. A recent addition to Cold Pizza is a countdown of the five "plays of the day."

After a somewhat rocky start, the show has become a staple of the overall ESPN morning lineup.

Pre-emptions and cancellations

• One day in October 2005, the entire show was not seen. Crawford explained that unspecified technical difficulties made the show impossible to produce that day. ESPNEWS was simulcast on ESPN2 instead.
• Twice, Cold Pizza's rebroadcast has ended early due to breaking news: on September 27, 2006, due to conflicting reports as to whether Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens had attempted to commit suicide; and on November 17, 2006, when college football coach Bo Schembechler died from a heart attack. In both cases, SportsCenter was simulcast in the remainder of the scheduled time slot.
  • On the other hand, an altered, non-commercial version of the show was simulcast by ESPN on January 22, 2007 during the usual re-air slot, due to the resignation of Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells that was disclosed just before the end of the live show. This altered program ran from noon to 1:30 p.m. ET.
• On January 8, 2007 a mysterious gas-like odor was detected throughout New York City. Several buildings, including the Manhattan Center (where the show is produced) were evacuated.[3] Cold Pizza was replaced with a simulcast of ESPNEWS, with the Mike & Mike Bottom Line informing viewers that "Cold Pizza will return Tuesday." The timing of this pre-emption was unfortunate, because it was the day after the NFL wild card playoff games and the morning of the BCS National Championship Game.
