They'll network from Beverly Hills
Rich Eisen, who will be the lead anchor for the new National Football League Network, and his wife, former Fox Sports Net reporter Suzi Shuster, have purchased the longtime Beverly Hills-area home of Frank Liberman, who for years was a publicist for such Hollywood greats as Phyllis Diller, Steve Allen and Bob Hope.
Liberman sold the home last fall for about $1.1 million. It was redone and then sold to Eisen and Shuster for close to $2 million.
The house has four bedrooms in 3,200 square feet. It was built in 1955. It has dark hardwood floors, smooth stucco and dark wood trim. It has a large living room and a media room.
Eisen, 34, was a mainstay of ESPN's "SportsCenter." He will anchor NFL Network's flagship program "Total Access," airing from Los Angeles Monday through Friday. The NFL Network will kick off Nov. 4.
Ed Fitz of Prudential John Aaroe represented the buyers, and Michael Eisenberg of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, had the listing, sources said.
