He has been back at espn for a while now after leaving current. I think he has a regular sport show there.

On ESPN. I've been waiting to see if he got ratings - maybe slides up the scale closer to 10pm, perhaps even prime time.
Heard nothing of his ratings or of moving his show up. He doesn't gripe, appears to have settled in to his time-slot and accepted it.

That is their flagship show. He and Dan Patrick were the gold standard for hosts of it. Keith is still rated the number one SportsCenter anchor by many and he has been gone for years.

I love it! He is still great at subversion in the sly way he has had to use since being back on ESPN. I hope the younger anchors learn.
