The Medford native previously served as a sports anchor and reporter in Nashville.
Medford native Lauren Walsh is joining Boston 25 as a sports media journalist.
She’s a Syracuse graduate and former NESN intern who spent the past three years at WSMV in Nashville.
“Younger Lauren wouldn’t believe it,’’ she wrote while announcing the move on her social media channels, noting that she used to wear “Limited Too ‘athletics’ gear to Sox games as a kid because they didn’t sell team gear in the girls’ clothing section back then.”
Walsh will be joining the station as a sports media journalist, a new position at Boston 25, she told Boston.com.

“I am so grateful and honored to join the talented team at Boston 25, a station my family has watched since I was a kid,” she said.
Walsh previously worked at WXII in Winston-Salem, N.C. before heading to Nashville in August 2023. She has also worked as a sports anchor/reporter in Burlington, Vt. and Syracuse, N.Y.
“I’m excited to bring my passion, energy, and storytelling to Boston 25’s sports coverage, and of course to cover the teams I grew up rooting for that helped mold my infatuation with sports,” Walsh said.
She did not say when her start date will be.
