Melissa Stark is returning to sideline duty for the first time since 2002 after starting a family and will be reporting during NBC’s Sunday Night Football broadcasts.
“I’ve always said to my husband, ‘I’m going to be replaced by someone younger.’ And he’s always said, ‘Stop thinking that. No, you’re not.’ To be able to come back with a family is very validating and an important message for women,” Stark said. “I think it affords a lot of opportunities to women and shows they can find a way to navigate to have that family but also have a career.
When it comes to how sideline reporting has evolved over the past 20 years, Stark cited additional resources, including having someone in the truck to directly relay information to the producer. Stark isn’t the only staff shuffle on “Sunday Night Football,” which has been the top-ranked primetime show for the last 11 years. Mike Tirico becomes the primary play-by-play announcer after Al Michaels moved to Amazon’s “Thursday Night Football” package. Rob Hyland takes over as coordinating producer after Gaudelli moved into an executive role at NBC as well as producing the Amazon games.
