NESN, New England’s most watched sports network, announced Monday that Kacie McDonnell (@KacieMcDonnell) will join the network as an anchor and reporter.
Kacie will appear on NESN’s three main sports news programs:
• “NESN Sports Today,” every night at 10 p.m. (or immediately following Red Sox or Bruins postgame coverage)
• “NESN LIVE,” weeknights at 5:30 p.m.
• “NESN Sports Update,” every morning from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.
McDonnell comes to NESN from NBC affiliate KSHB-TV in Kansas City, where she served as a morning reporter and fill-in anchor. She also was a pre- and postgame host for Major League Soccer broadcasts of Sporting Kansas City games on sister station KMCI-TV. The Villanova University graduate began her television career in Philadelphia with WTXF-TV FOX 29, where she was a pregame reporter for Philadelphia Eagles games and a morning reporter and fill-in anchor on Fox 29 “Good Day Philadelphia.”
“We are very excited to welcome an on-air personality of Kacie’s caliber to NESN’s sports news team,” said Joseph Maar, NESN’s Vice President of Programming and Production/Executive Producer. “Kacie brings an up-beat and engaging personality with a quick wit and passion for sports that should endear her to fans of New England sports.”
McDonnell is scheduled to start at NESN in September.
