Molly Sullivan

Recently named one of the top five "Sexiest Sportscasters in America" by Playboy, Molly Sullivan is a Las Vegas native and graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A former nationally ranked distance swimmer who competed at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Molly is also an ACC Champion and 4-time NCAA qualifier in the 1650 freestyle for the Tar Heels, who ended her collegiate career as the fastest Miler in school history. Trading in her swimsuit for a business suit, you can now catch Molly on the sidelines or in the studio as she is in her fourth year with the MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.), a member of the Comcast Sports Group/NBCUniversal family of networks. In addition to working the sidelines for college football, Molly is the lone sideline reporter for men's and women's basketball on The Mtn. But the action doesn't end on the gridiron or the hardwood as Molly covers all eleven sports in the Mountain West Conference with a focus on pre- and post-game coverage, breaking news, in-depth feature stories and also co-hosts various programs with network anchors. Molly's work covering college sports can additionally be seen on CBS Sports Network and Versus which are league television partners with The Mtn., and occasionally reports for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area on the NBA beat. For the past two seasons on the Big Ten Network, Molly has utilized her more than 14-years of experience as a competitive swimmer to serve as the network's swimming color analyst and has also worked as a sideline reporter for track & field broadcasts. And just this past March, Molly co-hosted ESPN Road Trip to the Big Dance for a special three-part series. In her hometown where sports and entertainment are uniquely intertwined, Molly's first on-air job after graduating from UNC was as a Las Vegas-based entertainment reporter and producer for news affiliates such as KTLA in Los Angeles, KENS in San Antonio, KFVE in Honolulu and locally on KVWB. A year later, Molly landed her own half-hour lifestyle television show on Las Vegas' ABC affiliate, KTNV, where she served as both the program's host and associate producer. Molly's knowledge of the Entertainment Capital of the World then quickly led her to the national stage as a field reporter and producer for a number of networks and publications, including E! News and The Daily 10 on E! Entertainment Television as well as Life & Style Weekly magazine. It was during this time that Molly was approached by publishers to co-author the first insider's book about Las Vegas written specifically for women, Las Vegas Little Red Book: A Girl's Guide to the Perfect Vegas Getaway, with a nationwide release date of February 14, 2007. After three years of covering entertainment news right out of college, Molly eagerly returned to her athletic roots in the Fall of 2007. Joined Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia as a sideline reporter for the Philadelphia 76ers in April 2012. Also did sideline reports for TNT during the Indiana Pacers-Atlanta Hawks NBA playoff series in 2014. In addition to her NBA duties, Sullivan is also a host/reporter for Top Rank Boxing and occasionally does sideline reports for CBS College Football and Basketball.
