Jenny Dell, currently an AccuScore anchor for ESPN, will reportedly replace Heidi Watney on NESN's Boston Red Sox broadcasts as the network's sideline reporter. Dell will work with the legendary pairing of Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy.
Dell is a UMass graduate and has served in different roles with ESPN, most recently covering the Winter X Games. NESN has not announced the hiring, but as Chad Finn of the Boston Globe reports, all of Dell's on-air content has been removed from ESPN. As for Watney, she has taken a job with Time Warner cable as a sideline reporter for the Lakers starting in the 2012-2013 season after serving as the Red Sox' sideline reporter for NESN since the 2008 season.
Dell is on Facebook and Twitter, as are most media professionals in this day and age. While we don't know much about Dell and her work, all indications seem to be that she is a quality professional and is dedicated to her work.
