A graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Molly
Sullivan is a former nationally ranked distance swimmer, ACC Champion
and 4-time NCAA qualifier in the Mile for the Tar Heels who also
competed in the 800-meter freestyle at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team
Trials.
Trading in her swimsuit for a business suit after graduating from UNC, this athletic sportscaster has most recently worked as a sideline reporter for the 76ers on Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia and you may have also seen her in action on the MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.), CBS Sports Network, NBC Sports Network, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, Big Ten Network and ESPN.com.
Molly is now in her fifth year working for the Comcast Sports Group, part of the NBC Sports Group and a division of NBCUniversal. After wrapping the college hoops season in the spring of this year, Molly transitioned to the NBA sidelines with the Sixers on Comcast SportsNet where she traveled with the team and also covered the NBA Playoffs.
Prior to CSN Philly, Molly was a sports broadcaster for The Mtn. where she primarily worked as a sideline reporter for college football for five seasons 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, Molly also served as the swimming color analyst for all studio shows. But the action didn't end there as Molly covered a total of 11 college sports with a focus on pre- and post-game coverage, breaking news, in-depth feature stories and also co-hosted various programs with network anchors.
In addition, Molly's work covering college sports could occasionally be seen on CBS Sports Network and NBC Sports Network which were league television partners with The Mtn. Molly has also reported on the NBA beat for CSN Bay Area and hosted ESPN Road Trip to the Big Dance for a special three-part series.
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. Off the pool deck, she also worked as a sideline reporter for the network.
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 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 various 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. After three years of covering entertainment news right out of college, Molly eagerly returned to her athletic roots in the Fall of 2007.
With her home base still in Las Vegas, Molly has had the opportunity to cover virtually every local professional sporting event throughout her past seven years as a journalist with the annual NBA Summer League as a favorite.
Molly also supports a number of non-profits, including: Coaches vs. Cancer, Keep Memory Alive, Three Square Food Bank and countless animal rights organizations.
