Alanna Rizzo hasn’t been at NESN long, having joined the network in late April after the Red Sox season had already begun.
She already has a smart and amusing sense of her role, particularly when it comes to hosting the occasional alternate game broadcast, “Unobstructed Views,” which features freewheeling personalities Jonathan Papelbon and Jared Carrabis.
“When I was hired, it was made clear that NESN wants it to be a different type of broadcast, a different type of approach. It doesn’t need to be rigid or have the same type of flow as a normal broadcast,” she said.
