Markas Is Named Angel Announcer
The Angels have hired USC basketball announcer Rory Markas and former Ohio State football and basketball announcer Terry Smith as their new radio team. They replace Mario Impemba and Daron Sutton, who left to take jobs with other teams.
“Of all the things I have done in broadcasting,” Markas said Friday night, “this is the dream job.”
Markas was the Milwaukee Brewers’ television announcer for three seasons in the early 1990s, and was a fill-in on radio before that. Smith was an announcer for the triple-A Columbus Clippers.
Other finalists for the jobs, according to a source, were Fox’s Jose Mota, the son of Dodger coach Manny Mota, Milwaukee-based announcer Len Kasper, former San Diego Padre announcer Mel Proctor and ESPN’s Gary Miller.
