Get ready for more Colin Cowherd coming to a TV and bookstore near you.

While chatting with him Tuesday about his radio show being picked up in Chicago on ESPN 1000, Cowherd said he is at work on a new TV project at ESPN. He also has a book coming out in November.

Regarding television, Cowherd said, “It’s under wraps. I don’t think they are comfortable with blabbing about it.”

Cowherd, though, isn’t good at the not-talking thing. While he didn’t divulge everything, he did provide some hints. The plan doesn’t appear to be a daily TV show, as he did with SportsNation. It sounds more like Cowherd will have special segments on various ESPN platforms, including SportsCenter.

“Doing a three-hour radio show followed by a 30-minute to hour TV can be exhausting,” Cowherd said. “Anytime you do that I always worry that the quality suffers on TV. I don’t know if that is my future. Perhaps doing features and really thoughtful pieces would be more my future.

“I’m not one who thinks getting your face constantly on TV is good. To add a TV component, I’d like to make sure it’s smart, thoughtful, well funded. As I get older–maybe I’m losing my energy–I don’t want to just be on the air. I want to do interesting stuff.”

As for his book, Herd Mentality: Things About Sports and Life I Think but Probably Shouldn’t Say will hit the stores in the fall.

“It is stuff from a kid who came through divorces and from rural America, and I always have had a different way of seeing the world,” Cowherd said. “I wanted to put it in book form. It’s been hard, but I don’t know if I ever had more fun.”
