Where have the local sports broadcasters gone? How much has the world of sports coverage changed over the years? Our guest this week is the long time voice of Wizards/Bullets basketball, Steve Buckhantz. Buck has worked all over the country as a sports broadcaster. He became an institution in the Washington, DC market as a sports anchor on Fox 5 and eventually, taking the leap as the play by play voice of the local NBA basketball team. We chat about what he wanted to be vs where he ended up, what would make him cringe if he listened to 'early Steve Buckhantz' broadcasts, and how to get over a low moment on a broadcast. Buck is an all-time great guy.
