Kim Jones (reporter)

Kimberly "Kim" Alicia Jones (born September 7, 1969, in Dallastown, Pennsylvania) is a New York City-based sports reporter. From 2005 to 2011, she was the clubhouse reporter for New York Yankees games on the YES Network. She currently works for the NFL Network and WFAN radio in New York City. Jones has been a resident of Saddle Brook, New Jersey, since she started covering the New York Giants.

Jones graduated from Penn State University in the early 1990s and is associated with their Center for Sports Journalism. From 2005-2007, she made regular appearances on the Penn State radio program Let's Talk Penn State with a segment that shared its name with her former blog: "Keeping Up With the Jones".

Before joining YES, Jones was the New York Giants beat reporter and a National Football League (NFL) columnist for The Star-Ledger newspaper in Newark, New Jersey. In addition to her duties on YES and WFAN, she continued to write a Sunday NFL column for The Star-Ledger.

In 2005, Jones was hired by the YES Network to replace Suzyn Waldman as the clubhouse reporter for Yankee games, after Waldman moved on to be the game analyst for Yankee games on WCBS radio. Jones also kept a blog for YESNetwork.com, entitled "Keeping Up With the Jones", that provided news and insight about the Yankees and often featured interviews with current and former players. On May 27, 2010, Jones was highlighting the local cuisine at Target Field in Minnesota by holding up a "pork chop on a stick" during a Yankees road game against the Minnesota Twins. While she was live on the air, a Yankee fan who had been standing behind her bit off a piece of the pork chop. On January 24, 2012, it was reported that Jones decided not to renew her contract with YES in order to pursue other opportunities. Jones' replacement at YES was announced in March 2012 with the signing of fellow Pennsylvania native, Meredith Marakovits.
