Minko, DeMarco shift duties on the Army football radio team

By Ken McMillan | Published: July 2, 2010 | 0 Comments

The Army football radio announce team will see some major shifts this fall. John Minko, the play-by-play voice for the past 10 years, will co-host the Army Football Tailgate Show, along with Bob Outer — between them, Minko and Outer have called all but two seasons of Army football since the mid 1970s.
Minko asked for reduced duties following some health issues in the past year.
“I am happy to remain part of the West Point family and to broadcast from Black Knights Alley,” Minko said.
Rich DeMarco will move from sideline reporter to the play-by-play role. Tony Morino has been named the new sideline reporter. Morino has been the long-time voice of Army hockey on radio and has shared Marist basketball TV broadcasts for Time Warner Cable in recent years.
Nikolai Busko takes over the hockey radio duties, along with some baseball and lacrosse action.
There was no word on the status of long-time radio color analyst Dean Darling.

Drawing the line on classic sports coverage

By Ken McMillan | Published: June 18, 2010 | 0 Comments

Okay, I can see the desire to watch old sports programming. There’s classic games, the opportunity to watch all-stars from different eras and the thrill of hearing broadcast greats.
However, the NHL Network and NBA TV will use some of its air time over the next two weeks to air coverage of past player drafts. You have to be beyond hard-core fan status to watch two, three or four hours of coverage that now fills lines in encyclopedias.
Since I’m a nice guy, here’s what those networks will provide:
NHL Network — 2005 draft, June 21, 6 a.m.; 2006 draft, June 22, 6 a.m.; 2007 draft, June 23, 6 a.m.; June 24, 2008 draft, 6 a.m.; June 25, 2009 draft, 6 a.m.
NBA TV — June 21, 1996 draft at noon, 1998 at 2 p.m., 2001 at 4 p.m., 2003 at 6 p.m.; June 22, 1984 draft at noon, 1985 at 2 p.m.; 1986 at 4 p.m., 1987 at 6 p.m.

By the way, if you haven’t figured it out yet, both leagues will hold their annual player drafts next week. The NBA will hold its draft on Thursday, June 24 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. The NHL will hold its 2010 draft on Friday-Saturday, June 25-26. The first round will air on Versus at 7 p.m. on Friday. Rounds two through seven will air on NHL Network starting at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Wimbledon to air on NBC, ESPN2, ESPNU

By Ken McMillan | Published: June 18, 2010 | 0 Comments

My favorite tennis tournament of the year, Wimbledon, gets underway Monday. As usual, the tournament will be aired extensively by NBC Sports and ESPN2, although there’s a twist to the scheduling this year due to soccer’s World Cup.
Viewers are going to have to switch back and forth between ESPN2 and ESPNU — normally a college sports channel — during the opening week of action as ESPN2 airs World Cup action.
Chris Fowler will make his way from South Africa to London to anchor ESPN’s coverage. The usual cast of announcers will include Cliff Drysdale, Dick Enberg, Patrick McEnroe, Mary Carillo, Pam Shriver, Mary Joe Fernandez and others.
Ted Robinson, John McEnroe and Mary Carillo will handle NBC’s coverage.
Tennis Channel has no live action from Wimbledon, but will air Wimbledon Primetime from 7-11 p.m. from June 21-30, with re-airs from 11 p.m.-3 a.m. from June 21-June 27 and 12-4 a.m. from June 28-30. Bill Macatee, Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova will host the show.
The schedule:
Monday, June 21 – ESPN2, 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday, June 22 – ESPN2, 7-9:30 a.m. and noon-2 p.m.; ESPNU, 9:30 a.m.-noon and 2-5 p.m.
Wednesday, June 23 – ESPN2, 7-9:30 a.m. and noon-2 p.m.; ESPNU, 9:30 a.m.-noon and 2-4:30 p.m.
Thursday, June 24 – ESPN2, 7-9:30 a.m. and noon-2 p.m.; ESPNU, 9:30 a.m.-noon and 2-4:30 p.m.

Monday, June 28 (fourth round) – ESPN2, 6:30 to 10 a.m. and 1-6 p.m.; NBC, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Tuesday, June 29 (ladies’ quarterfinals) – ESPN2, 7 to 10 a.m. and 1 to 7 p.m.; NBC, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Wednesday, June 30 (gentlemen’s quarterfinals) – ESPN2, 7 to 10 a.m. and 1 to 7 p.m.; NBC, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Thursday, July 1 (ladies’ semifinals) – ESPN2, 7 a.m. to noon; NBC, noon to 5 p.m.
Friday, July 2 (gentlemen’s semifinals) – ESPN2, 7 a.m. to noon; NBC, noon to 5 p.m.
Saturday, July 3 (ladies’ final) – NBC, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Sunday, July 4 (gentlemen’s final) – NBC, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Renegades sport new announcer, same radio network for 2010

By Ken McMillan | Published: June 7, 2010 | 0 Comments

The Hudson Valley Renegades will continue their relationship with flagship radio station WBNR (1260-AM) in Fishkill this season. All Renegades games will air on WBNR, WLNA (1420-AM) in Peekskill and WGHQ (920-AM) in Kingston, as well as online at HVRenegades.com.
The Renegades will have a new radio announcer this season. Nick Gagalis, 23, has called action in the Cape Cod summer baseball league for the past three years, for the Brewster Whitecaps. He also called various sports action for the Boston University closed-circuit student radio station, WTBU, including the national title run by the B.U. men’s ice hockey team in 2009.
“It’s awesome for me with my first year in Minor League Baseball,” Gagalis said. “I’m looking forward to all the lessons on and off the air.”
The Renegades open their 17th season in the Class A short-season New York-Penn League on June 18 at Aberdeen (Md.).

ESPN 1050 to air 21 World Cup matches live

By Ken McMillan | Published: May 25, 2010 | 0 Comments

I haven’t really heard soccer play-by-play on radio since the late Jim Karvellas used to call New York Cosmos games on the old WNEW-AM (1130-AM, now WBBR) and other stations, but that will change with the upcoming World Cup.
New York’s WEPN (1050-AM) will air 21 matches of the tournament, mostly on weekends. Notable exceptions will be the Friday, June 18, match pitting the United States with Slovenia (9:30 a.m.) and the Wednesday, June 23, match between the USA and Algeria (9:30 a.m.). The Americans’ opener with England will be aired at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 12.
John Paul Dellacamera will have the ESPN Radio call (frankly, I think ESPN made a HUGE mistake by taking the very talented Dellacamera off its TV coverage).

The WEPN live schedule:
Saturday, June 12: Korea vs. Greece, 7 a.m.; Argentina vs. Nigeria, 9:30 a.m.; England vs. USA, 2 p.m.
Sunday, June 13: Algeria vs. Slovenia, 7 a.m.; Serbia vs. Ghana, 9:30 a.m.; Germany vs. Australia, 2 p.m.
Friday, June 18: Slovenia vs. USA, 9:30 a.m.
Saturday , June 19: Netherlands vs. Japan, 7 a.m.; Ghana vs. Australia, 9:30 a.m.
Sunday, June 20: Slovakia vs. Paraguay, 7 a.m.; Italy vs. New Zealand, 9:30 a.m.
Wednesday, June 23: USA vs. Algeria, 9:30 a.m.
Saturday, June 26: 1A vs. 2B – Round of 16, 9:30 a.m.; 1C vs. 2D – Round of 16, 2 p.m.
Sunday, June 27: 1D vs. 2C – Round of 16, 9:30 a.m.; 1B vs. 2A – Round of 16, 2 p.m.
Friday, July 2: 1 vs. 3, 9:30 a.m.
Saturday, July 3: 6 vs. 8, 9:30 a.m.; 2 vs. 4, 2 p.m.
Saturday, July 10: Third-Place Game, 2 p.m.
Sunday, July 11: World Cup Finals, 1:30 p.m.
