Just officially announced today, Chris Rose of MLB Network’s abortion, Intentional Talk, will expand his horizons outside of baseball and join NFL Network as a studio host. He’ll host NFL Network’s Sunday highlight shows during the season, NFL GameDay Highlights and NFL GameDay Final replacing established hosts Rich Eisen and Fran Charles, respectively.
And he’ll be the host of the postgame edition of NFL Total Access which would follow Thursday Night Football.
Rose will continue as co-host of Intentional Talk on MLB Network weekdays.
So Rose is the first on-air personality to work at two league-owned networks simultaneously. It’ll be interesting to see if he can continue to handle the workload or choose to leave one network down the road.
The announcement.
