Bob Wischusen NFL Television Announcing Debut

     Former Miami radio sportscaster Bob Wischusen made his debut announcing a National Football League regular season game on national television with NFL Network this past Sunday. The Jacksonville Jaguars faced the Tennessee Titans in London. 

     He was able to work the assignment because the New York Jets had a bye week. Wischusen is the radio play-by-play announcer for that team. He has held that position since 2002. 

     ESPN bought NFL Network earlier this year. Both organizations have been sharing on-air personnel along with resources. Wischusen is currently an ESPN play-by-play announcer announcing college basketball, college football and National Hockey League contests. He has worked NHL telecasts since October 2021. 

     Wischusen, a Boston College grad, began his professional broadcasting career with Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM. He started with the radio station as a producer and a weekend co-host. Wischusen became the first morning sports anchor of The First Team. He was elevated to morning co-host on The First Team alongside Joe Rose when Dave LaMont left the program in late 1994. Wischusen was demoted to afternoon sports anchor during 1995.
