ABSTRACT
One area of broadcast performance that holds much attraction for many young people is that of sports broadcasting. While many opportunities exist, there is also plenty of competition. However, sports programming is increasingly popular with broadcast and cable stations because of the audience it attracts, and more and more channels are becoming available as digital service takes hold. This means that opportunities for the prepared, capable person who is willing to work hard will likely increase in the next few years. The sports announcing fi eld has many segments — from sports reporter, to sports anchors, to play-by-play, to color, to sports talk host, with additional variations along the way.
