Longtime anchor Linda Cohn, who has anchored more editions of SportsCenter than anyone in ESPN history, will officially retire from the network on June 30, according to Adam Schefter.

Cohn has been a cornerstone of the network's flagship program for decades. In 2016, she was famously honored for hosting her 5,000th edition of SportsCenter, a record that cemented her legacy as one of the most prolific and recognizable figures in sports broadcasting. Her career at ESPN has spanned over 30 years, during which she became a trailblazer for women in sports media.

Per the report, Cohn is scheduled to make her final appearances on ESPN during the 6 p.m., 10 p.m., and 11 p.m. ET broadcasts on June 30. These final shows will serve as a farewell for the legendary broadcaster who has covered nearly every major sporting event and story during her tenure.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
