FOX, CBS Set NFL Announcer Lineups

by Milton KentFiled under: NFL Media Watch, Sports Business and MediaThe NFL's Sunday afternoon broadcast carriers have set their announcing lineups for the coming season with few changes.

The biggest alteration to the landscape is that 13-time Emmy Award winner Dick Enberg won't be doing an NFL game for the first time in more than 40 years.

Enberg, who came to CBS in 2000 after calling eight Super Bowls on NBC, elected to call San Diego Padres games on television this year, taking himself out of the mix for both the NFL and college basketball. Ian Eagle moves up to Enberg's No.3 slot on the CBS pecking order, but Enberg's departure leaves a gaping hole in the NFL broadcasting landscape.

FOX, meanwhile, has added former Cardinals and Rams quarterback Kurt Warner as well as former Seahawks and Falcons coach Jim Mora Jr. to its analyst pool. Mora, who was fired last season, joins longtime play-by-play man Dick Stockton and analyst Charles Davis on FOX's third team, along with sideline reporter Laura Okmin. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
