''Pardon the Interruption'' (abbreviated PTI) is a sports television show that airs weekdays on various ESPN TV channels, TSN, ESPN America, XM, and Sirius satellite radio services, and as a downloadable podcast. It is hosted by Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, who discuss, and frequently argue over, the top stories of the day in "sports... and other stuff" (as Kornheiser put it in the show's original promo).〔http://www.rlrassociates.net/clients/wilbon092201.html〕 The show has emanated from Washington, D.C. since its debut, as both Kornheiser and Wilbon were writing for ''The Washington Post'' at the time. Originally recorded at Atlantic Video's facilities in Washington, the show now occupies space at ABC News' Washington bureau. Voice actress Kat Cressida lends her voice to commercial bumpers for the series and has since its premiere. From the premiere of ''PTI'' until September 8, 2014, Tony Reali served as the show's statistician (earning him the nickname "Stat Boy") and eventually became a de facto co-host. Reali became the host of ''Around the Horn'' in 2004 while continuing his job on ''PTI'', eventually leaving when ''ATH'' moved production from Washington to New York City. Similar in format to ''Siskel and Ebert'',〔 ''PTI'' is known for its humorous and often loud tone, as well as the "rundown" graphic which lists the topics yet to be discussed on the right-hand side of the screen. The show's popularity has led to the creation of similar shows on ESPN, and similar segments on other series, and the rundown graphic has since been implemented on the morning editions of ''SportsCenter'' among many imitators. The show won a Sports Emmy Award for best Daily Outstanding Studio Show for 2009.〔http://www.espnmediazone3.com/us/2010/04/espn-wins-seven-sports-emmy-awards/〕 ''PTI'' debuted on October 22, 2001.〔(Atlantic Video, Inc.

Retrieved December 16, 2006.〕 The founding production team behind PTI includes Mark Shapiro, Erik Rydholm, Todd Mason, James Cohen and Joseph Maar. The original deal was for two years with an option for a third.〔 It airs daily at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN (if not preempted by live events such as golf), and is repeated on numerous ESPN sister outlets (see "Broadcast details" below). The show originally also aired Sunday evening, but this was short-lived. ''PTI'' is produced by ESPN. The show's production management is led by Executive Producer Erik Rydholm. ''PTI'', as well as its sibling ''Around the Horn'', is sponsored by alcoholic beverage company Diageo.
