RADIO AND TELEVISION IN THE BOOTH

HARRY DONAHUE PLAY-BY-PLAY • 15TH SEASON

The 2016-17 season marks Harry Donahue’s 15th consecutive year as the voice of Temple University men’s basketball. A Philadelphia native, he has also served as play-by-play announcer for the Owls’ football program for the past 22 seasons, including 2016. One of the most recognizable voices in the Delaware Valley, Donahue worked as a morning news and sports anchor at KYW Newsradio (1060 AM) since 1979 before retiring in August 2014. He first joined the station in 1974 as a freelance reporter and anchor. Today, the Infinity Broadcasting radio station is the market leader, with more listeners than any other radio station in the Philadelphia region. Donahue is a well-known broadcaster and an integral part of the Philadelphia sports scene. He has done play-by-play for Eagles pre-season games, 76ers bas-

ketball contests and college basketball for ESPN’s Atlantic 10 Game of the Week. Every Sunday, NFL fans around the country hear Donahue describe NFL Films’ highlights that are displayed on stadium scoreboards. He is the voice of NFL.com’s weekly highlights. Donahue also hosted “Temple Sports Now,” a bi-weekly TV show that featured Owl athletics. Donahue was the play-by-play voice for the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL. He has also hosted “Center Court,” the pre-game, half-time, and post-game shows for the 76ers’ telecasts. Donahue’s reporting has earned him two Pennsylvania Associated Press Awards for his coverage of the Philadelphia Phillies’ World Series run in 1980. In May 2000, he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. Donahue is a graduate of Saint Joseph’s University. He and his wife Lynda reside in Montgomery Coun-ty, Pa., and have three sons and five grandchildren.

JOHN BAUM COLOR ANALYST • 19TH SEASON

John Baum, Temple basketball’s second all-time leading rebounder and cap-tain of the 1969 NIT Championship team, is in his 19th year as color analyst for Temple men’s basketball. Baum graduated from Temple with an undergraduate degree in accounting. A three-time all-city selection, he was enshrined in the Temple University Hall of Fame in 1979. Baum was drafted by teams in both the NBA, Chicago (second round) and ABA, Los Angeles (first round), respectively. He played in the NBA for three sea-sons with the Chicago Bulls (1969–72) before competing in the ABA for three years with New Jersey (1972–74) and Indiana (1974–75). Baum and teammate Rick Barry were instrumental with the Nets winning the 1973 ABA title.

TEMPLE ON TVTemple men's basketball will have all 31 of its regular sea-son games televised nationally during the 2016-17 season.
