A multi-faceted talent with experience spanning decades and networks and nearly every sport imaginable, Brent Musburger has become one of the most-recognized voices and faces in all of sports broadcasting.

Musburger currently serves as the lead voice of college football for ABC and ESPN, and he has called the action on ABC's Saturday Night Football since 2006. He has announced the past five Rose Bowl Games and four BCS Championship games, including Auburn's 22-19 win over Oregon this past season in the Tostitos BCS National Championship.

Musburger joined ABC in May 1990 after 15 years as CBS Sports' primary host and play-by-play commentator. During his reign at CBS, his broadcast responsibilities included college football, The NFL Today, the NCAA Final Four, the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, the NBA and the Masters.

During his celebrated 40-year career, he has worked nearly every major sporting event, including the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Finals, the Final Four, the World Cup, the Indianapolis 500, the Masters, the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, and the Little League World Series, and he has done it across multiple media platforms for CBS, ABC, ESPN, CBS Radio Network and ESPN Radio. In 2011, he claimed a well-deserved spot in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame.

A native of Billings, Mont., Musburger graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism before beginning his career as a sportswriter for the Chicago American. He started his broadcast career in 1968 at WBBM-Radio in Chicago as the station's sports director, later assuming the same title for WBBM-TV. He then moved to KNXT-TV in Los Angeles as the co-anchor of the nightly news.
