The former Comcast SportsNet host said on social media Monday she was making her debut on FOX News' "Fox & Friends" morning show with a segment featuring O'Neill's Market in her hometown of Glenside, Montgomery County.
The show's social media posts indicated Mele is joining the show in a permanent position. It was previously unclear what role Mele would be taking with the conservative cable news station.
The segment serves as a sort of introduction for Mele to the show's audience. In it, she takes a shift at O'Neill's — where she had her first job — goes to her parents’ house to look at baby photos and plays a few rounds of golf.

Mele left SportsNet in March shortly after the show she was co-hosting, "Breakfast on Broad," was canceled. She joined the morning sports show in 2015, leaving her gig as a traffic reporter and occasional anchor on NBC10.
After the cancellation, SportsNet said the show's hosts — Mele, Sarah Baicker, Barrett Brooks and Rob Ellis — would fill other roles at the station. But Mele left, as did Baicker, the face of the station's Flyers coverage, who took a job with the New Jersey Devils.
