Harold ReynoldsBack in April we reported that Harold Reynolds was returning to the television airwaves for the first time since his controversial dismissal from ESPN. Unfortunately, his big return was to local cable, meaning unless you lived in the Big Apple, chances are you couldn't see his work on Sportsnet New York.

Soon, though, he'll make his long-awaited return to the national stage, as Michael Hiestand of USA TODAY reports that TBS is bringing Reynolds on board as an analyst. He'll make his network debut in the studio on Sunday as All-Star rosters are announced, and he'll be a part of the network's regular-season coverage thereafter. Hiestand reports that TBS is in talks with Reynolds and Dennis Eckersley to do their postseason coverage, as well.

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding Reynolds' dismissal from the four-letter network, I think viewers will be happy to have him back on TV. Quality announcers and analysts are surprisingly few and far between, and it's a shame that one of the game's best has had to sit on the sidelines for as long as he has.
