(From The New York Daily News -- By Richard Huff)

FRAN CHARLES, a familiar face to viewers of WNBC-4, has landed a gig on THE NFL NETWORK as an anchor.

Charles will host NFL SCOREBOARD each Sunday at 4 pm during the regular football season. He'll also take on other
NFL Network assignments, too.

"Fran's talents, honed at the national and local levels, will enable us to use him in a variety of situations," NFL Network Executive Producer ERIC WEINBERGER said in a statement.

Charles was a sportscaster on Ch. 4's TODAY IN NEW YORK from 1998-2002.

He's spent the past four years covering golf for USA NETWORK and has also worked as a boxing announcer for HBO.
