On November 13 , 2015 , ESPN interrupted regular programming around 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time , to cover the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks on Stade de France and downtown Paris as well as the hostage situation in the Bataclan theatre , where a concert by American rock band Eagles of Death Metal was interrupted by terrorists who killed 89 people . ESPN FC correspondent Jonathan Johnson , as well as then French president François Hollande , were attending the game in the Stade de France , around which the three explosions occurred . While Hollande was evacuated from the stadium at half-time , Johnson remained in the stadium , and after the game he described to the viewers the panic of the fans who attended the game and then rushed the field , after being noticed by the Stade de France 's PA announcer . After the hostage crisis ended , a special edition of the program was aired , featuring analysis and reports on the impact that the Paris attacks had on the sports world and social media reactions of sportspeople to the attacks , announcing the postponements of some major European sporting events that had been announced up to that weekend
