History

In 2001, Costas was hired by HBO to host a 12-week talk and interview series called On the Record with Bob Costas . In 2005, the program was revamped to become Costas Now, with more of a focus on sports and a year-round schedule in a 9 p.m. ET time slot. Costas Now was similar to another HBO sports show hosted by Bryant Gumbel called Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel .

In February 2009, Costas left HBO to sign with MLB Network, effectively ending Costas Now. HBO replaced it with a similar, short-lived program called Joe Buck Live , hosted by Fox Sports broadcaster Joe Buck.
