Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame Committee

Expanded coverage of Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame Ceremony
December 11, 2007 was a landmark night for sports broadcasting. In front of a standing-room-only audience at the Hilton Hotel in New York City, the inaugural class was inducted to the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame, and the ceremony brought alternate fits of laughter and tears to every member of the distinguished audience. “This is an exciting night for the sports broadcasting community,” said Bob Costas of NBC Sports and HBO Sports, who co-hosted the event along with Jim Nantz of CBS Sports. “For the first time ever, we are honoring those who have made televised sports a cultural phenomenon and an economic powerhouse.”

Event Host Announced Bob Costas and Jim Nantz will host the 2007 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame ceremony. It is a great honor to have these two great commentators master the inaugural ceremony.
