The George Michael Sports Machine was a syndicated, sports-related television program which aired from 1984 until 2007. The show was hosted George Michael, a former radio disc jockey-turned television sports anchor, and was produced at WRC-TV, the NBC-owned station in Washington, D.C..
Shortly after Michael joined WRC-TV in 1980, the station launched the program as George Michael’s Sports Final, a half-hour local sports wrapup show on Sunday evenings, following the late newscast. After a successful four-year run in Washington, NBC’s other owned-and-operated stations — at the time in New York City, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Chicago — added the program to their Sunday late-night schedules, and it was retitled as The George Michael Sports Machine.
