A graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Molly
Sullivan is a former world-ranked distance swimmer and U.S. Olympic Trials competitor as well as an ACC champion and four-time NCAA qualifier in the 1650 freestyle for the Tar Heels.
Trading in her swimsuit for a business suit after graduating from UNC, this athletic sportscaster is now in her sixth year with the Comcast Sports Group and NBC Sports Group family of networks.
Following her fifth season on the college basketball sidelines, Molly joined Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia in April 2012 as the sideline reporter for the 76ers. Molly covered the final month of the regular season along with the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and returns as the sideline reporter for the 2012-2013 NBA season where she will travel with the team for all games. When Molly's not on the sidelines with the Sixers, other reporting assignments include Eagles Pregame Live and Eagles Postgame Live on Comcast SportsNet.
Prior to CSN Philly, Molly worked for the MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.) which was also a member of the Comcast Sports Group, part of the NBC Sports Group and a division of NBCUniversal. During her five years with The Mtn., Molly worked primarily as a college football sideline reporter and was also the lone sideline reporter for men's and women's basketball on the nationwide network. Utilizing her more than 14-years of experience as a competitive swimmer, she also served as the swimming color analyst for all studio shows. But the action didn't end there as Molly covered a total of 12 college sports for The Mtn. with a focus on pre- and post-game coverage as well as in-depth feature stories for the network's daily sportscast, and she also co-hosted special programming.
Molly's work covering college sports could occasionally be seen on various other networks, including CBS Sports Network and NBC Sports Network which were league partners with The Mtn. She also hosted ESPN Road Trip to the Big Dance for a three-part series. In addition, as one of the top swimming analysts on television, Big Ten Network called upon Molly to lead its swimming coverage for the past three seasons.
In a city where sports and entertainment are uniquely intertwined, Molly's first on-air job was in her hometown as a Las Vegas-based entertainment reporter and producer for a syndicated news segment that aired on newscasts across the country. A year later, she landed her own half-hour community lifestyle television show on Las Vegas' ABC affiliate where she served as both the program’s host and associate producer. Molly’s knowledge of the Entertainment Capital of the World quickly led her to the national stage as a field reporter and producer for 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 she 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. After three years of covering entertainment news right out of college, Molly eagerly returned to her athletic roots in the fall of 2007.
Molly currently lives in Philadelphia.
