Israel Gutierrez Joins Meadowlark Media

     Former Miami Herald sportswriter Israel Gutierrez has joined Meadowlark Media. It is a reunion with his longtime associate Dan Le Batard. Gutierrez left his numerous positions at ESPN in July. 
     Gutierrez was first noticed as a sports reporter for the Miami Herald. He became the Miami Heat beat writer at that newspaper and covered the franchise during the 2000s. 
     He left Miami and became an NBA columnist for the ESPN.com website. Gutierrez was also a panelist on Around The Horn and The Sports Reporters on ESPN television. It led him to a position as a sideline reporter for NBA broadcasts. 
     Gutierrez would get involved more into radio in January 2015 as a Sunday late morning co-host of an NBA program on ESPN Radio. Sports Talk 790 The Ticket WAXY-AM added him as a guest morning co-host with Jonathan Zaslow and Joy Taylor for several months in early 2015. He was elevated to the afternoon co-host spot with Ethan Skolnick and that lasted from September 2015 until late November 2015. 
     He joined ESPN Radio on a full-time basis in February 2016 as a late-evening co-host with Jorge Sedano. They had done the NBA Lowdown podcast together on ESPN Audio for several months prior to their show. Their program lasted until September 2016 when Sedano moved in Los Angeles to become a morning co-host at KSPN-AM. Sarah Spain was named Gutierrez's new co-host and they were together from September 2016 until December 2017.
