Bill Rosinski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Rosinski is an American sports broadcaster and talk show host, operating primarily out of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Rosinski currently works for Westwood One radio as one of its NFL play-by-play broadcasters, as well as hosting The Bill Rosinski Show on local Charlotte station WFNZ.
[edit] Career
Rosinski began his broadcasting career at UPI, where he was a reporter and sports director for UPI Radio. He first began working for Westwood One in 1985 after spending three years at UPI Radio, and stayed there until 1992. Rosinski's primary responsibilities were to cover football and college basketball games for the network.
Rosinski left Westwood One for a job as the Atlanta Falcons' radio play-by-play voice on WSB-AM, a position he held until the end of the 1994 season when he took the same position with the expansion Carolina Panthers. He was with the Panthers until the end of the 2004 season and called every major game for the franchise that occurred while he was there, including two NFC championship game appearances and Super Bowl XXXVIII. Rosinski wrote a book about his career with the Panthers, appropriately titled Bill Rosinki's Tales from the Carolina Panthers, which was released in 2007.
After a year layoff Rosinski returned to Westwood One to replace Dave Sims as the network's #2 Sunday doubleheader voice (Sims was promoted to the network's Sunday night radiocast). He has been in the position ever since, calling games alongside Dan Reeves.
[edit] Other ventures
In addition to his radio show, which is also aired on WSPG-AM and WBLO-AM in the Charlotte metropolitan area, Rosinski hosts a weekly television program in the Charlotte area called "Sportsnight at the Southend Brewery."
Rosinski previously worked for Jefferson Pilot Sports as a broadcaster as well.
