Knicks broadcasts won’t feature a familiar face for the 2024-25 NBA season.
Rebecca Haarlow is leaving her job as the Knicks’ sideline reporter for MSG Network after nine seasons, the network announced.
Alan Hahn and Bill Pidto, longtime members of the Knicks’ studio crew, will fill Haarlow’s role, per multiple reports.
She is stepping away to focus on her consulting firm.
“After nine incredible seasons broadcasting Knicks games on MSG Networks,” Haarlow told Newsday in a statement, “I have decided to step away to focus on my consulting firm, Rebecca Haarlow Communications, where I help companies drive growth through exceptional public speaking, storytelling and media training.
“I extend my deepest gratitude to both MSG Networks and the Knicks organization for a lifetime of unforgettable memories. I’ll forever be a fan. Go Knicks!”
MSG Network acknowledged Haarlow’s departure in a post on X.
“Wishing you luck and success in your new business – Rebecca Haarlow Communications,” the post said. “You will always be a part of the MSG Networks family!!”
Haarlow started as the Knicks’ sideline reporter in 2015, when she took over for Tina Cervasio.
She has previously worked as the sideline reporter for the Trail Blazers and worked at NFL Network.
