Local sportscaster Dave LaMont is no longer the television play-by-play announcer of the Professional Bowlers Association Tour. Fox Sports recently picked up the television rights, which were held by ESPN, and have named Rob Stone as the new television voice of the PBA Tour.
LaMont began announcing bowling on ESPN in December 2016. He will continue as a morning sports contributor on the Paul Castronovo Show at Big 105.9 WBGG-FM and as a college football play-by-play announcer for ESPN.
LaMont has over 35 years of broadcasting experience in the Miami market. He was the radio play-by-play voice of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the early 1980s and held a sportscaster position at 790 WNWS-AM.
After a stint at News Radio 610 WIOD-AM and 940 WINZ-AM, he became a morning co-host with Jimmy Cefalo on The First Team at Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM in 1993. He later co-hosted the show with Joe Rose before he returned to WIOD in 1994.
LaMont did his share of television work as a sideline reporter of Miami Heat games on Sunshine Network alongside Eric Reid and Jack Ramsey from October 1992 until April 2000. He was promoted to morning host on WIOD in the mid 2000s following over a decade as a morning sports anchor.
He was named the first radio play-by-play announcer of Florida Atlantic University football when the program formed in 2001 and also handled announcing men's basketball. LaMont left both positions in the middle of 2011 for a full-time announcer spot at ESPN. He was replaced by Ken LaVicka as the new FAU radio voice.
