[edit] Original format
When The Blitz debuted in 2005, it originally consisted of scores and highlights of NFL games around the country, along with analysis from Quadry Ismail, Mike Ditka, and Seasn Salisbury. The Blitz also had some non-football highlights (such as college basketball, the NBA, and the like) mixed in. The program went off the air the week after the Super Bowl in 2006, and returned on September 10 of that same year. The Blitz would eventually replace the Sunday afternoon and evening editions of "ESPNEWS" (which previously aired on Sundays) from that point on.
[edit] Current format
On February 18, 2007, The Blitz debuted a new on-air look and program logo, to signify the show's new format (similar to the ones used on the other ESPNEWS programs, such as ESPNEWS Gametime). And with that, it also replaced programming previously aired from 1:00pm to 10:00pm ET (ESPNEWS Day and ESPNEWS Early Evening, which now air on Saturdays only).
