The Score will have another vacancy when Leila Rahimi leaves the midday show at the end of the month to become NBC 5’s lead sports anchor, a full-time job no woman has held at the station. She’ll continue to join co-host Dan Bernstein once a week, reprising her “Leila Wednesday” appearances from 2020. Bernstein will host the other four days solo.
The station enjoyed a full year of stability after Rahimi joined Bernstein in January 2021 and Matt Spiegel officially reunited with Danny Parkins on the afternoon show in February. Now there’s an opening again, although no one begrudges Rahimi in the least. She has spent most of her career in TV, and she couldn’t pass up the opportunity at NBC 5, where she has been part-time since November.
