Rachel Nichols Joins CNN and Turner Sports

 

Nichols Will Anchor New Weekend CNN Sports Program and Report for Turner Sports

 

CNN and Turner Sports have hired veteran ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols, it was announced today by Jeff Zucker, President, CNN Worldwide, and David Levy, President, Sales, Distribution & Sports, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.

 

Nichols will serve as a sports reporter for CNN and Turner Sports and will anchor a new weekend sports program on CNN/U.S. beginning later this year.

 

Her CNN program will focus on the most interesting stories and personalities in the world of sports. In her role with Turner Sports, Nichols will handle a wide variety of assignments across the division’s vast sports properties including the NBA and Major League Baseball. Additionally, Nichols will cover all major sporting events, including the Olympics for CNN. Her first assignment will be the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

 

“We're just thrilled that a sports journalist of Rachel's stature and expertise will now be a regular part of the CNN lineup," said Zucker. "Her arrival, beginning next week, is an important step in expanding the range of programming and storytelling on CNN."

 

"Rachel is a high profile talent and skilled reporter and we are proud to have her join the Turner Broadcasting family," said Levy. "Rachel's broadcast experience covering a wide variety of assignments including breaking news, major sports events, human interest features and investigative pieces will be a perfect fit across Turner Sports' many properties and platforms."

 

"I couldn't be more excited to join the CNN and Turner Sports family,” said Nichols. “I believe in Jeff’s vision for CNN, and have always admired the great work of Turner Sports and what David has done there. I’m looking forward to getting started at the Super Bowl."

 

Prior to joining CNN and Turner Sports, Nichols spent nine years at ESPN, working as a correspondent for SportsCenter, NFL Countdown, NBA Countdown and the network's newsmagazine show, E:60, as well performing sideline duties on a number of Monday Night Football broadcasts. Earlier in her career, Nichols worked as a reporter for the Washington Post and the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.

 

A native of Potomac, Maryland, Nichols received a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

There's something not right about that chick. She reminds of the person who did a lot of bad things to get to where they are and now feel guilty or ashamed now that they made it.

She does have a kind of "dirty girl" aura doesnt she. :wub:

So what happens when Brett Favre comes back next year?

[Phurfur 70]

She knows nothing about football. People like her made it easy to stop watching ESPN.

[MedStudent 56]

She's one of those chicks who isn't all that pretty but for some reason she gives off an aura that gives me a woody every time I see her on tv. I'm more attracted to her than Erin Andrews. Maybe because in the back of my mind I think that I would have a chance at getting down her panties if I met her in a bar and Andrews looks too unobtainable.

I have never seen a female sports reporter that does?

Maybe they plan on doing a show where she stands in his driveway reporting on him taking out the trash.

EA is too goodie goodie and cute.

She earneded her way to ESPN. Who do you think typed on her resume to send to Disney "Step-Daughter of Diane Sawyer". No one but her had to hound Diane Sawyer with "help me get a job or I will never speak to my father again". She worked hard for her money.

Crocks that are green and yellow are in vogue again? Mississippi is relevant?

She is not the step daughter of diane sawyer . Her husband is the stepson of Diane sawyer.

Don't muddy up my post with facts. Do you not know the rules of the Geek board?

Chris Berman is the real reason she was hired. He saw her face and name and figured espn had to hire so that he could call her: Rachel "I'd be rich if i had you nose full of" Nichols.

[Cruzer 1,995]

Is Rachel NIchols annoying? Yes. Does she suck at her job? Yes. But Chris Berman is yes to both of those too and he's still around. Hey at least she has a vagina and I'd be more than willing to hit it - so she has that going for her.

[remote controller 143]

What a waste of space with no skanky pic of her present.

[Herbivore 1,119]

This is great news! Really, its about time Rachel Nichols was given a bigger stage. What a talent.

[nospk 230]

But she knows everything about the NBA, NASCAR, and March Madness.

And world news & stuff.

[kilroy69 1,220]

she needed another bridge and some more billygoats to harass.
