Erin Andrews' new multi-year contract with Fox Sports comes with a big change for her and the network: She'll no longer be part of Fox's MLB coverage, SI.com reported .
Instead, she'll focus solely on the NFL, the network confirmed, working with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman as the sideline reporter on Fox's No. 1 NFL broadcast team.
“We are thrilled that Erin will continue as our lead sideline reporter on the NFL on FOX’s ‘A-Team’ including our upcoming coverage of Super Bowl LI,” John Entz, the network’s president of production, told SI.com. “We appreciate Erin’s great contributions to our MLB coverage. With her commitments beyond Fox Sports, we fully support Erin’s decision to focus her role here at FOX on the NFL.”

Fox’s World Series team has changed dramatically since last year's series. Last year Joe Buck, Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci were in the booth, with Andrews and Ken Rosenthal working the dugouts for the Royals-Mets series. This year, it appears — based on Tuesday's All-Star Game — that Buck and John Smoltz will be in the booth with Verducci and Rosenthal working the dugouts.
Hired by Fox in July 2012 after years at ESPN, her first role was to host Fox's ill-fated new college football studio show as well as contribute to coverage of the MLB postseason and certain NFL and NASCAR events.
In addition to her sports work for Fox, Andrews has been a co-host of ABC’s popular "Dancing with the Stars" since 2014.
