Lindsay Czarniak Joining ESPN... Leaving TNT?

Lindsay Czarniak, sports anchor at the NBC (Comcast) O&O in Washington, D.C., WRC - he was hried by the late "Sports Machine" host George Michael - has left the station after her contract was not renewed. So she is joining ESPN.

Here's my question: Apparently, Czarniak is also employed at TNT, hosting their pre-race show (TNT's leg of NASCAR coverage just started two weeks ago). So does this mean she's leaving TNT? The above Washington Post story refers to Czarniak as having "reported on NASCAR for the TNT cable network," i.e. past tense. I would think there might be a conflict of interest with one person working at two popular cable networks.
 
I would bet so. Jay Bilas of ESPN used to cover the NCAA Tourneys for CBS but when Turner entered the picture, ESPN refused to loan him out any more.
