Former NESN, NBC Sports Boston and ESPN anchor Jade McCarthy has found a new home: it’s Sports Spectrum.
The media company announced today that it signed the Emmy Award-winning broadcaster as a host and contributor. The deal includes a new podcast offering from the network and McCarthy entitled Transformed with Jade McCarthy as well as other hosting duties.
“It’s a blessing to bridge my career covering sports with my faith walk,” McCarthy said. “I’m thrilled to join Sports Spectrum and dive into conversations with athletes and others in the sports world to learn how their faith shapes and impacts their lives.”
McCarthy hosted ESPN’s flagship show, SportsCenter. She also was a featured stories reporter for NFL Sunday Countdown and hosted a variety of shows for the network. Before that she was a host and reporter for NESN.
“I’m so excited to officially welcome Jade to the Sports Spectrum family,” said Jason Romano, Sports Spectrum’s Director of Media. “She is so talented and I’m really looking forward to watching her help tell the important stories of sports intersecting with faith.”
In addition to launching and hosting her new podcast, McCarthy will also contribute content for Sports Spectrum’s website, it’s quarterly magazine and the Sports Spectrum Podcast.
“My hope for Transformed is that it uncovers stories of grit and humility with a unique faith perspective,” McCarthy said. “Moreover, I hope those stories provide insights that help coach us all as we press through our own seasons of growth.”
Sports Spectrum is a media company that features stories where sports and faith connect. \
