CNBC’s sports business reporter Darren Rovell is leaving Englewood Cliffs and heading for Bristol.

I am indeed leaving my home for the last 6 years, @CNBC. It was a great place to grow & see how the best in business news do what they do.

Rovell will be a sports business reporter for ESPN and ABC. “I will also be doing regular business reporting for ABC News, where I will definitely be covering the food & drink biz,” he Tweeted.

Rovell joined CNBC in 2006 from ESPN, where he was a reporter for ESPN.com, “SportsCenter,” “Outside the Lines,” and had weekly segments on ESPNEWS.
