Show, joined the award winning cast of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel in the
spring of 2006 as a reporter. Frankel's experience in hard news and sports
television make him a perfect fit for the show's intelligent and unique look at
athletics and the surrounding issues that affect the games and its athletes.

for ABC News between the years 1998-1999. His time at the network was split
between reports for "World News Tonight," "Nightline," "Good Morning
America," and as a substitute anchor for "World News Now."
Jon also worked for NBC as a correspondent for the "Today" show
between 1995-1997. He also served as a sports anchor for WNBC-TV New York,
WPLG-TV Miami, and WPEC-TV West Palm Beach.
Frankel spent one year as a producer and editor for NFL Films (1987-1988)
and became friends with another HBO broadcaster, Bob Costas, as an associate
producer for Costas' nationally syndicated radio talk show, "Costas Coast to
Coast."
Frankel attended Syracuse University where he graduated with a degree
in broadcast journalism and political science. The sportscaster remains active
competing in marathons, triathlons, and Ironman competitions. He currently
lives in Manhattan with his wife and two children.
