Voice of Alabama football shares his Brooklyn story
Since beginning his broadcasting career in 1972 as a sports reporter with the Mutual Broadcasting System, Brooklyn native Eli Gold has worked in every state in the U.S., as well as every major city throughout Canada.
As a note of interest, Mutual Broadcasting was home to such radio classics as “The Lone Ranger” and “The Shadow,” and was also the broadcasting network that introduced another renowned Brooklyn native, Larry King, to America.
Gold is most notably the voice of the University of Alabama “Crimson Tide” football team, and a famous voice for NASCAR racing events, especially in Florida.
