Early life and education

Oliver was born in Dallas, Texas.[2] She attended Niceville High School in Niceville, Florida, where she excelled in tennis, basketball, and track and field.[2] At Florida A&M University, she was an All-American in both the 400-meter and the mile relay.[2]

Professional career

Oliver began her broadcasting career at WALB in Albany, Georgia in 1985 as a news reporter.[3] The next year, Oliver moved to WAAY-TV in Huntsville, Alabama. After that stop, Oliver moved to WIVB-TV in Buffalo, New York in 1988. Two years later in 1990, Oliver moved to WTVT in Tampa, Florida, where she began her career as a sports anchor in 1991. Oliver moved to KHOU-TV in Houston, where she continued to be a sports anchor.

In 1993, Oliver joined ESPN. In 1995, Oliver joined Fox Sports, where she worked as a sideline reporter with the network's number-one broadcast team, Pat Summerall and John Madden.[4] In 2005, Oliver joined TNT as a sideline reporter for their NBA Playoffs coverage and worked as a Sideline Reporter for the NBA Playoffs on TNT until 2009.[5]

On July 14, 2014, Fox moved her to the network's #2 NFL broadcasting team, while Erin Andrews took over as sideline reporter on the #1 crew.[6] In early 2015, Fox extended Oliver's sideline reporting job with the #2 team through the 2016 season.[7] Oliver has continued in that role as of the 2022 season.
