The ex-Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, who was a guest analyst (in a de facto TV tryout) on NBC's Super Bowl pregame show last season, also will appear on the NBC Sports Network cable channel. There, he'll be a studio analyst for college football and appear on the weekday Sports Talk news show, which airs at 6 p.m. ET. Ward follows Michelle Beadle, who'll appear on NBCSN after leaving ESPN, in an attempt to bring some star power to a cable channel known as Versus before it was rebranded.
