Broadcaster Taylor Rooks Says Goodbye To TNT Sports After 7 Years: ‘End Of An Era’

Taylor Rooks is moving on from TNT Sports and Bleacher Report after seven years.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, she reflected on her journey, writing, “END OF AN ERA ? After seven beautiful, wild, growth-filled years, my time with TNT Sports and Bleacher Report is coming to an end — and where to begin… Just look at all the fun we had. The questions. The viral clips. The moments that meant something. I loved looking back at all the conversations we created. The best times of my career. Clips that make people smile. The coworkers who turned into forever friends.”

Taylor shared how she entered the role as a young woman ready to learn and grow: “I walked into this role as a 26 year old woman that had a lot to say and a lot to learn… And the only reason I’m leaving as a better broadcaster is because of every single person I worked with in Atlanta and New York, on set, behind the camera, on the talent team, in the c suite, in the edit bays, in the trucks. Thank you for taking a chance on me. For believing there was space in sports media for me to do in-depth sit-downs. For never putting me in a box. For letting me grow, mess up, try new things — and do it all with support.”

She gave thanks to everyone involved in her journey: “To every exec, every producer, every PA and AP, every camera op, glam artist, editor, and athlete who gave me their time and their trust: thank you. Thank you for being a part of my @bleacherreport dream.”

Taylor ended her message with a nod to Ernie Johnson: “In the wise words of Ernie Johnson, this is a ‘get to’ job — not a ‘have to’ job. And I am so much better because I got to do it with all of you. Here’s to the next chapter that only comes because of the one before it ??”
