Pablo Torre is about to become a creature of two worlds.

The veteran ESPN writer and on-air personality is leaving the Disney sports-media giant — and he’s staying, too. Torre is joining Meadowlark Media, the content company founded by former ESPN chief John Skipper and the sports commentator Dan Le Batard. And yet, Torre is expected to remain a regular contributor to “Around The Horn” and “Pardon The Interruption,” two of the mainstay programs on the ESPN daytime schedule.

His time at ESPN — about a decade in all — has allowed him to test several media platforms. Torre joined the company in 2012 after a five-year run as a staff writer at Sports Illustrated. He has been a senior writer for ESPN.com, a contributor to ESPN Films and “30 for 30,” and a co-anchor of the daily daytime show “High Noon” with Bomani Jones. More recently, he hosted two popular podcasts: “ESPN Daily” and “Debatable.”
