The FS1 lineup has taken shape after Skip Bayless’ exit.
The new morning show, “Breakfast Ball,” will feature former WFAN host Craig Carton, Mark Schlereth and Danny Parkins from 8-10 a.m. ET, The Post has learned.
Schlereth is a three-time Super Bowl champion and a veteran of sports talk TV, while Parkins joins after co-hosting afternoon drive at 670 the Score in Chicago.
The Post previously reported that Michelle Beadle was in advanced talks to join this show.
However, sources said both sides got cold feet at the eleventh hour and decided not to proceed.
A Fox Sports spokesperson declined to comment.
From 10 a.m. to noon, in the timeslot previously occupied by “Undisputed,” FS1 will air “The Facility” with former NFLers Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy, Chase Daniel and James Jones.
Acho, McCoy, and Jones all previously worked together on “Speak.”
“The Herd” with Colin Cowherd and Jason McIntyre will remain from noon to 3 p.m., and “First Things First” will remain intact with Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes from 3-5 p.m.
“Speak” will keep its show name and will be headlined by Keyshawn Johnson along with Paul Pierce and Joy Taylor.
Pierce and Johnson were both previously part of “Undisputed.”
Front Office Sports and the Chicago Sun-Times previously reported that Parkins is joining FS1.
Bayless joined FS1 in 2016 and co-hosted “Undisputed” with Shannon Sharpe until last summer, and spent the past year working with an ensemble of rotating co-hosts as the show transitioned from one-on-one debate to a panel format.
He has promised on his eponymous podcast to reveal his future plans in the coming weeks.
