foremost play-by-play announcer in America's sportscasting
history, the late Ted Husing was largely responsible for
play-play broadcasting as we know it. His unique ability to
capture the drama of sports as it was played out on the
field, and to effectively communicate that drama to the
listening audience, helped advance, helped advance
sportscasting to the exciting medium that it is
today.

audition job over 619 rivals. His first sports assignment
came in 1925 and was followed by many years of exemplary
sports broadcasting with various networks, including CBS and
ABC.
