What does a sports broadcaster do?
Sports broadcasters analyze a variety of sporting events and present information to a targeted audience. They describe actions and plays as they happen, update scores, and gather facts and statistics to present them in an interesting way. They often give views a “play-by-play” of events as they are taking place. They often inject personal opinions, comical comments, or lighthearted views on the game or event. Sports broadcasters often select, write, and present sports coverage on television and radio stations as well as on the Internet. Often times they provide coverage before and after the game or event. Sports broadcasters often go behind the scenes and provide insider information. They interview coaches, athletes, medical personnel, celebrities, and fans.
