Preferred term

radio sportscasters  

Definition

  • Traditionally, sportscasters come in two kinds: play-by-play announcers who call the game action and color commentators who add background details on plays or players during pauses in field or on-court action. At the broadcast network level, especially for football sportscasts, guests supplement the host color commentator. [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; Sportscasters, Radio]
