Tommy Tighe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tommy Tighe is a sports radio broadcaster who works for the Westwood One radio network. He's been employed by the network since CBS radio days, hired in 1987 as a reporter and a commentator.

Tighe is Westwood One's primary studio host for its sports broadcasts. He hosts the pre- and post-game studio shows for The NFL on Westwood One, as well as the network's coverage of NCAA college basketball and football (except for Westwood One's Notre Dame football coverage, which is produced separately from the weekly college football package Westwood One airs). In addition, he hosts the Westwood One recap show NFL Sunday, which airs an hour prior to the Westwood one Sunday Night Football broadcast.

Also, prior to 2004, Tighe hosted the pre- and post- game shows for Monday Night Football on the network, but was replaced by Jim Gray.

Tighe's other credits for Westwood One include U.S. Open tennis coverage, a weekday sports recap show called "Sportstime", and a weekend sports report segment known as "Sports Central USA," which he did prior to taking over as pre-game host for nearly all sports broadcasts on the network. Mr. Tighe is also the captain of the three-time champion Thursday Night Bowling team 'Tommy's Tools.'
