Heidi Watney Leaving NESN

BOSTON (CBS) - Heidi Watney will no longer be bringing Boston Red Sox fans their in-game updates.

Watney, whose contract with NESN had expired, is leaving to work for Time Warner Cable in Southern California, according to multiple reports.

Watney will work as a sideline reporter on the Los Angeles Laker telecasts beginning with the 2012-13 season, assuming there is an NBA season at that point.
