Tony Reali has come up even more.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tony will be joining GMA as a Social Media Contributor as part of his expanded contract with ESPN/Disney/ABC. He will still host Around the Horn but just from NYC:
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Reali’s latest extension has given him the role of contributor on corporate sibling ABC’s morning flagship. Reali will move from Washington, D.C., to his native New York later this year, where Around the Horn will get a new Times Square space close to his GMA studio. Reali joins GMA as its first social media contributor and will appear in its recently unveiled “Social Square” to engage viewers online.
This is big news for Reali who has had an incredible rise in the sports media world. Reali basically turned an internship in a big time career. Lots of us will always remember him as “Stat Boy” from PTI but it’s clear that the suits at Disney have big plans for his future.
Congrats to him.
