NESN Announces Series Of Alternate Telcasts Of Red Sox Games

NESN announced Thursday the launch of a slate of new live alternate telecasts on NESN+. The alternate broadcasts, branded “Unobstructed Views,” will be hosted by baseball personality Jared Carrabis, beginning with the Boston Red Sox game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, June 25 at 7 p.m. ET.



“Unobstructed Views” will feature a rotating cast of co-hosts for each telecast, starting with former Red Sox reliever and current NESN studio analyst, Jonathan Papelbon for the first episode. The second alternate broadcast will feature co-host Ian Brownhill, who is a local New England content creator, known for his New England-inspired humor which has garnered him 1.5 million followers across Instagram and TikTok (@ian.Brownhill). Papelbon will join again for the third alternate broadcast date on July 9, and Sara Perlman Mancini, a sports personality who has served as host, sideline reporter, and betting analyst for NBC Sports and Fox Sports, will join Carrabis for the fourth game on July 23.



“We’re always experimenting with new ways to enhance the game experience for Red Sox fans,” NESN COO Matt Volk said. “This viewing experience will be complementary to our live game telecast on NESN and will provide a new way for fans to engage with the Red Sox and NESN through differentiated conversation and real-time analysis from new faces and special guests.”
