ESPN has a new SportsCenter anchor.
Madelyn Burke, a 2009 graduate of Arizona State and a longtime sports media veteran who has worked for CBS Sports HQ, the New York Giants, Sports Illustrated and others, will be joining the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
“I’m thrilled and honored to join ESPN, and to be a part of a program as iconic as SportsCenter,” said Burke. “It’s a show that has meant so much to me and to generations of sports fans.
“I’m excited to help carry that tradition forward while bringing energy, joy, and a genuine love of sports to every show.”
Burke, an L.A. native, will be working out of ESPN's studios in Bristol, Connecticut.
“Madelyn is a versatile and dynamic storyteller who brings credibility, energy and a deep understanding of sports to everything she does,” said Mike Foss, Senior Vice President, Sports & Studio Entertainment. “Her experience across multiple platforms and connection with fans make her a great addition to SportsCenter.”
