ESPN is continuing to look for the right recipe for its morning brew. Cold Pizza has been under constant construction since it started and now the name and location are getting thrown out.

On May 7, Cold Pizza will become ESPN First Take. Jay Crawford and Dana Jacobson will still host the show, but it will be back in Bristol, Conn., with the rest of the ESPN studios. It also will have 1st and 10 segments with two commentators from a pool that includes Skip Bayless, as well as Stephen A. Smith, Patrick McEnroe and Jemele Hill. The show will continue to be shown on ESPN2.

ESPN First Take (airing live from 10 a.m.-noon and repeated from noon-2 p.m.) will be televised in high definition. The HD will come to ESPN2's simulcast of ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning, which is on from 6-10 a.m.

ESPN also said that Mike and Mike and ESPN First Take will have sports updates with Sage Steele. The morning repeats of SportsCenter will have a rundown graphic like they have for the draft to tell viewers what's coming next.
