She left covering sports in NYC to go to the Pac 12 network? Seems like a step down. I forgot the Pac 12 was even a thing until I opened this thread.

Who is she? Doris Burke's younger sister?

No relation. She was the SNY UConn specialist (sideline reporter, Geno show host, etc) for 3 years. Left after last season to follow her boyfriend to the West Coast. Suspect she will make it big in TV out there. I miss her - not used to our Domer Justine Ward yet.

She was/is a West Coast girl. She did an interview at the end of last year that she had offers on the east coast but wanted to do something else back on the west coast and did not have a job after the Olympics. Guess she found a slot with PAC12.

You can't put a price on happiness. Or health. Good luck Kerith.

2. You worked at SNY in a major media market, which some would actually consider a career high. Then you covered the Olympics for NBC last month. But now you’re unemployed. How are you processing this vertiginous career arc? And what is it like to be without a job as a TV broadcaster? [...]

It is striking to say “From the Olympics to unemployed!” but let me clarify, I asked for this. Months before NBC called about the Olympics, I told my bosses I didn’t want to re-up at SNY so I could move back to the west coast. I had five wonderful years in the nation’s number one market and it was hard to leave, but there was something in me calling out for a change.

My career has been climbing up, up, up and I can’t tell if where I’ve stopped right now is before a cliff, a traverse to something different, or a scenic viewpoint with more room to climb.

I have no idea what’s next. I took a risk by leaving SNY when I didn’t have my next job lined up. I’m in the Bay Area now and there are places out here I’ve been talking with. I have a resume I’m proud of, but I can’t control when a job comes open. I knew that. What guided me to take this risk is my desire to reshuffle priorities. Loved ones first, career second. I’m not giving up my career, but I’m putting it in a place that feels better.​

Thanks Plebe! That's why this forum is the best, many knowledgeable and resourceful people who have facts at their disposal.

She's got her head screwed on right.
