Live With CDP Sports Talk, Guest: Daniella Ponticelli, Season #4, Episode #32, (September 20th, 2022)

Daniella Ponticelli, is the first female member of CKRM's Saskatchewan Rough Riders broadcast team (CFL) and first female voice of the University of Regina Rams. Now, 22 years after arriving in Canada, Ponticelli has worked at a variety of journalism jobs in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The latest posting is noteworthy because she’s the first female to be part of the radio broadcasts for the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders, working as a sideline reporter during home games. “Being on the sideline is unreal — the sound of players clashing and crashing into each other, how they communicate when the home crowd is so loud,” she says. You can hear Ponticelli before and after games as she hosts the Countdown to Kickoff pre-game show as well as the SportsCage Radio Roundtable post-game show on 620 CKRM. Along with Ponticelli’s duties on Rider game days, she will be serving as the radio voice for the University of Regina Rams in the upcoming Canada West football season. Doing play-by-play is nothing new for Ponticelli, who can also be heard calling games for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s hockey team — a role she plans to return to once both the CFL and Canada West seasons conclude. #daniellaponticelli #saskatchewanroughriders #livewithcdp #sidelinereporter #playbyplayannouncer #tvhost #reginarams #CKRM620 #regina #usaskhuskies #womenshockey #barrycullenchevrolet  #youtubechannel #facebooklive #twitter #audio #applepodcasts #googlepodcasts #spotify #anchorfm #linkedin #radiopublic #breaker #pocketcasts
