Holly Sonders 'reassigned' on Fox's live golf telecasts after U.S. Open debacle
Sonders has been reassigned by Fox prior to this week’s U.S. Women’s Open, according to Aaron Kasinitz of pennlive.com. The reason for that reassignment/demotion is up for discussion, as long as you’re a Fox employee.
“We’re not reassigning Holly because she did a bad job,” Fox’s coordinating producer Mark Loomis told Kasinitz. “I think Holly’s been great for us. It’s just that she can’t do both the postgame show and the interviews.”
That’s true, I guess, though no one believes Sonders was reassigned because she was needed on any postgame show. Fox seemed like it had dozens and dozens of on-air talent at the U.S. Open. There were obviously enough talking heads to sit on one of the network’s many sets after each round. No, Sonders was moved because Fox needed someone who knows how to do live interviews without them being a complete embarrassment by incorporating recently completed events into the questions.
