008 Mike Eaby, Coordinating Producer, Westwood One Sports
From humble origins -- a boxing match in Pittsburgh in 1921 -- live sports on the radio has evolved into an everyday part of our lives. In this episode of Media Credentials, I speak with Mike Eaby, the Coordinating Producer at Westwood One Sports, one of the largest sports radio networks in the United States. Mike oversees radio production for the NFL, NCAA basketball, NCAA football, golf, and a wide variety of other events each year. We discuss how he started out in college radio, his experience at the Olympics and the Masters, the rise of satellite radio and streaming broadcasts, and how it's never been easier to listen to the game.
