This afternoon NESN made the hiring of Heidi Watney official as the new Red Sox on-field reporter/host. She is replacing Tina Cervasio who left NESN to go closer to home and ended up with a job at MSG.
“Heidi is a skillful reporter who is smart, resourceful and has a terrific sense of humor,†said Joel Feld, NESN’s vice president of programming and executive producer. “Her talent for connecting with viewers makes her the ideal choice to join Don and Jerry as part of our Red Sox coverage.â€
What he is really saying is that she’s a hottie and not hard on the eyes at all.
We as fans will get our first look at her in action with NESN the first week of May when she will join the dynamic duo of Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy, who may have swapped wives by then.
host and reporter. does she going to do sports desk too when she not doing redsox games
Most likely no sports desk especially during baseball season.
She’d most likely do some hosting on the Red Sox shows NESN produces. Other than that I wouldn’t expect to see her on SportsDesk until the end of the season and even then that would be as a fill-in.
