Story Highlights
The Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame is pleased to announce the inductees of the Class of 2024, comprised of 10 industry legends who have played a major role in moving the sports broadcast industry forward, both in front of and behind the camera. They will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on December 17, 2024, at a ceremony that will be held at the New York Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.
This year's 10 inductees continue an 18-year tradition of honoring excellence across a wide range of disciplines. They are: Mark Lazarus, chairman of the NBCUniversal Media Group, who has forged deals with the Olympics, NFL, NBA, and more; Bryant Gumbel, one of the most respected hosts and broadcasters ever; fearless and legendary reporter Andrea Kremer; longtime NBA analyst Hubie Brown, who - at 91 - is going strong; the late, great Chris Mortensen who transformed the nature of NFL reporting; NBC Sports producer Tommy Roy, who has won 29 Emmys for NBA, NFL, golf, and Olympics coverage; Phil Garvin, who began Mobile TV Group, one of the largest remote production companies on the planet and also co-founded HDNet in 2001; Steve Gorsuch, who helped take US Open and golf coverage into the HDTV era; Charlie Carlucci, whose career in graphics production is defined by innovation and excellence; and Jim Delaney, former Big Ten commissioner who launched the Big Ten Network and made the conference a national force on TV from 1989-2020.
Each year, more than 150 industry professionals, including past inductees and executives representing all major organizations and disciplines in the industry, cast votes to ultimately decide the class.
We're excited and looking forward to another wonderful evening on December 17 when we get together and celebrate these exceptional leaders, their contributions, and their legacy, says Ken Aagaard, Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame Chairman.
This year's ceremony will also support the SVG Sports Broadcasting Fund, the industry's only charity designed to help sports production professionals who find themselves in financial need due to illness, disaster, or injury. Each year, the Fund supports dozens of industry freelancers and others with financial support during difficult times and 100% of all ticket and table sales are donated to the Fund.
The ceremony will be held on December 17, 2024, at the New York Hilton Hotel. It will begin with a reception at 5:00 p.m. ET, followed by a dinner at 6:30 p.m. The ceremony will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Below is more detail about this year's inductees:
Hubie Brown: One of the greatest NBA analysts of all time, Hubie Brown has the unique gift of being an ex-coach who brings not only knowledge but also dynamic enthusiasm to his role as analyst. For 50 years, he has been involved with the NBA as either a coach or broadcaster. He called the NBA Final for ABC in 2005 and 2006 and then for ESPN radio from 2007-19. Including television and radio across networks, Brown has called a record 18 NBA Finals.
Charlie Carlucci: Charlie Carlucci worked for CBS Sports for 36 years, beginning with the network in 1980. He changed the very nature of graphics creation, and his graphics work helped shape the live production of six Super Bowls, 35 Masters Tournaments, 25 PGA Championships, 34 March Madness tournaments, and much more.
Jim Delany: Jim Delany was an historic leader in college athletics for more than 40 years, serving as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference for 10 years and then the Big Ten Conference for 31 years during significant periods of transformation and growth. During his 41-year tenure, Delany led negotiations on behalf of the Big Ten, NCAA, and CFP with all major television networks resulting in rights fees totaling more than $30 billion. The Big Ten Conference saw unprecedented levels of national television coverage during Delany's tenure, highlighted by the creation of the Big Ten Network in 2007. In July 2024, the Big Ten Network officially dedicated Studio D to Delany and named it in his honor.
Phil Garvin: Fifty years ago, Phil Garvin launched Colorado Studios, providing a foundation that would later lead to the launch of Mobile TV Group in 1994 and also HDNet in 2001. An author, photographer, producer, director, and industry leader, Garvin's efforts have resulted in a company that today produces more than 4,000 live events every year, including over half of all MLB, NHL, and NBA regular season games. And his work at HDNet alongside Mark Cuban gave the HD movement its first dedicated HD network at a time when the fledgling format needed all the support it could get.
Steve Gorsuch: For more than 40 years, Steve Gorsuch transformed coverage of golf events for CBS Sports as well as US Open tennis where he would spend 15 years taking that event to the next level from a production and operations standpoint. Gorsuch had a career that saw him do everything from being a great cameraman (capturing Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths and Dwight Clark's famous The Catch ) to being a technical director, to managing the operations side for some of the biggest events in the country. His ability to handle both the technical directing and management roles at the same time for an event blazed a trail for future sports production professionals.
Bryant Gumbel: Over a television career that spanned more than half a century, Bryant Gumbel became one of television's most visi
