Darren Rovell Leaving CNBC for ESPN, Calls Bristol ‘Truly a Magical Place’

Darren Rovell is heading to Bristol.

The sports business reporter for CNBC — and host of Sports Biz: Game On on NBC Sports Network — has announced via Twitter that he will be joining ESPN. He added, "I will also be doing regular business reporting for ABC News, where I will definitely be covering the food & drink biz."

Rovell earned some brownie points in the region last year when he named the Patriots cheerleading squad the best in the NFL.
