Emmy-winning Yankee and ESPN broadcaster Dave Cohen returns to SATB.
from Sports Across The Board · host Gary McKillips
He's called games from baseball diamonds to basketball courts, from college campuses to the biggest stages in sports. Our guest today knows what it sounds like when history happens — because he was the one describing it. "Coney Island" Dave Cohen spent three decades as a freelance play-by-play voice for ESPN, debuting on the network all the way back in 1979, when sports on cable was still finding its legs. He was an innovator in sports cable programming and was instrumental in the beginnings of all-sports radio in New York. As the TV play-by-play voice of the New York Yankees on MSG Network, he won an Emmy Award in 1996 for his call of a Dwight Gooden no-hitter. A lifelong friend of Bob Costas, he also served as announcer on Costas Coast to Coast — and if that weren't enough, he's taken his voice to Hollywood, appearing in films like Glory Road and Trouble with the Curve.In this episode Dave reflects on the ;legacy of great broadcasters who graduated fron his alma mater, Syracuse University. He also talks sports television, the new college sports landscape and much, much more. This is Dave's third appearance on SATB and when you listen, you'll know why.
