The 20 year veteran ESPN anchor who also covered events like the National Spelling Bee and the Little League World Series will be getting a front row seat for all things tennis:

Let's wish her very safe travels around the world.

:( Long time crush of mine, spent many a hungover Sunday morning checking her out on SportsCenter back in the day. Cute as button and maintained it. Very under-rated.

OK I'm going to said it, was she forced out of Sportscenter? ESPN demoted Linda Cohn to weekends, demoted Jade to fill-in and NFL shows, Shipped Michele Steele back to reporter, and now Chris is leaving SC. Now I worry for Hannah Storm.

No, she decided on doing tennis as her new full-time pursuit.
Chris will still be with ESPN, but we won't see her as often after Thursday's 11 a.m. SportsCenter.

On Instagram, Cari Champion said she moving to LA unsure if that means she leaving as well or it's going to be bi-coastal.

What was initially reported about the 12pm SC was correct. It's now called SC Cost to Coast with David in CT and Cari in LA.

Yeah being on the 11am ET SC is actually a bad thing as 99% of the show is sitting behind tables.

IMO, I think Jade should belong to weekend morning SportsCenter and pair up with Sara Walsh real soon like before, without the desks and tables. Same for Lisa on 11am daily.

Yeah it does seem like a step down as ESPN only covers the 4 tennis majors and a handful of other tennis events, but I guess most of the ESPN elder statesmen/women have scaled back their workload
