First Television Pro Broadcast
(EVANSVILLE, Ind.) - Yesterday was one of the most exciting nights of my journalism career.
Now, I have worked a number of incredible games like a pitcher throwing a no-hitter, and a D1 basketball conference championship game, but this somehow reached new levels.
The game featured the Castle Knights and the Central Bears and the atmosphere was simply electric.
I was excited for a week, preparing my big board and asking friends for tips.
For my first football broadcast, it could not have gone any smoother. I felt very welcomed right away from the WFIE Channel 14 crew who quickly introduced themselves. The staff even offered food and drinks while setting up to make sure that everything was ready for the broadcast.
Reporter Joe Danneman then stopped by as we went to the top of the football stadium and entered the press box. The view quickly set the tone for the evening. It was lifted high atop the stands and had a great view of the field.
Joe and I then shared notes, compared our game boards and worked on the pre-game.
We both appeared on air for a minute as we dissected the upcoming matchup, took a commercial break, and it was right to covering the kickoff.
We had chemistry right from the very first play, and didn’t trip over each other the entire night.
Central won the game 35-3 over Castle, but we both had a winning broadcast and one that I am very proud of.
I’m working on getting the highlights and should have them sometime soon.
Keep checking the website for the updates.
Thanks for all of the support!
Best wishes,
Mike
Welcome
Hey everyone. My name is Mike Radomski and I am a sports reporter currently working in Evansville, Indiana. I have 10 years of sports reporting experience dating back to my time covering the Bergen Catholic Crusaders and continuing with my reporting of the Quinnipiac University Bobcats. As a broadcast journalism major and sports studies minor, I was a play by play broadcaster and radio host at Quinnipiac before moving on to become the lead broadcaster for the Evansville Otters baseball club. I have served as a sports editor for Patch.com in Fort Lee, New Jersey and also announced sporting events for LMC-TV in Mamaroneck, New York. Now, I am back in Evansville as the Director of Media Relations and Broadcasting for the Otters and I want to thank the organization for allowing me to do what I love every day. I would also like to thank my family for their undying support and dedication to my dream.
I started the site to highlight some of my old work and post new pieces of material as well. Feel free to let me know what you think and contact me anytime.
Thanks and best wishes! -Mike
