Around The Horn is a daily, half-hour sports talk program on ESPN. It airs at 5:00 EST, immediately preceding ESPN's most successful sports talk program, Pardon the Interruption.

Around The Horn follows a standard format. The host moderates discussions of various sports topics among sports columnists from four different newspapers and awards points for good arguments. He can also mute columnists, which also subtracts a point from their score. At the end of the second and third rounds of discussion, a columnist is eliminated, until only two are left for the final "Showdown" round. The winner of the showdown is given 30 uninterrupted seconds to opine on any topic.

Around The Horn premiered on 28 October 2002.

1 Rounds

The First Word The relevant sports headlines of the day are discussed.
Buy or Sell Where the columnists are asked to buy or sell a certain concept, also drawn from the relevant sports headlines.
Out of Bounds Where the remain columnists discusses American popular culture (favorite movies, best pop divas, etc.), often including quasi-sports stories.
Showdown Mentioned above, the two remaining columnists take sides on any sports story left.
