Jeff Zucker has made his first official hire as the new CNN boss, luring long-time ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols to CNN and Turner Sports.
In her new role, Nichols will field a range of assignments across Turner’s sports holdings, including the NBA and Major League Baseball. In addition to her TNT/TBS duties, Nichols also will cover all major sporting events for CNN.
To sweeten the pot, Zucker has offered Nichols the keys to her own weekend sports program, which is expected to premiere on CNN later this year.
