Ian Eagle Named to
ASA Advisory Board

September 27, 2013 - Ian Eagle has been named to the American Sportscasters Association’s Advisory Board, replacing the late Pat Summerall, it was announced by Louis O. Schwartz, ASA President.

Eagle began his career while attending Syracuse University, calling Orangemen football, basketball, and lacrosse on the student-run station, WAER Radio. Following his graduation in 1990, Eagle joined WFAN Radio in New York City where he served as a producer, talk show host, and did pre-and post-game interviews for the Jets.

Eagle moved to CBS Sports in 1998 as an announcer of NCAA basketball, tennis and the NFL. He was promoted to the No. 3 NFL announcing team in 2010, pairing with Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts, a position he still holds today.
