Franklin TV: Sports, Take 2

Giving voice to the action.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 04/12/2026

We’re watching football. Yes, we’re ‘Professional Football Watchers’

Now there’s a cool job title. Here you see Pete Royce and Jay Horrigan watching a game and calling the play action. They’re broadcast sports announcers. That’s the fancier way of saying, ‘Professional Football Watchers’. All they need here? Buffalo wings and beer.

This was one of the rare instances where they called the game from our studio rather than at the field. I might be disassembling a bit of ‘The Magic of Television’, but yes, this actually happens with some national and international sports.

Consider that almost all soccer games are called by announcers in a Miami studio.

“ Goalll ! ! ! ! ! !”

As the World Cup plays out across the U.S. this year there will be announcers hither and yon – in studios around the world. They’ll be calling the games in languages common to their respective national TV networks.

The “Tower of Babel” problem – solved. Not a towering task.
