“Discover How to Create Your Own Sports Broadcasting Job by Securing Sports Broadcasting Rights”

Surely if you’ve ever searched for a sportscasting job, you’ve come across a ‘Help Wanted’ ad similar to this actual job posting:

580 WIBW in Topeka, Kansas is looking for a Sports Talk show host with play-by-play experience to report on the local sports scene, attend media conferences and handle play-by-play duties for area high schools and colleges.

The position offers a full benefit package including medical/dental insurance, 401K and vacation time. Successful candidate must have three years of show hosting or play-by-play experience.

Everything about the job seems just perfect: Show host – play-by-play – medical & dental benefits – 401K – vacation time. Everything about that job IS perfect ... until you get to that last line; “must have 3 years experience.”

You now ask yourself the age old, catch-22 question ”How can I get the necessary experience required for the job, if no one will give me a job – which gives me experience?”...

 

"Introducing - SMA’s Take Charge Job Creation System"

  • Stop dreaming about becoming a sportscaster and take action by creating your own sportscasting job.

  • Discover how to appoint yourself the show host or play-by-play announcer and gain the necessary experience that will enable you to land future sportscasting jobs.

  • Learn SMA’s step-by-step system on how to create an income when you create your own sportscasting job.

All around you opportunities exist to gain valuable sportscasting experience. Many high schools, junior colleges and even some small colleges are currently without announcers for their men’s and women’s sports teams. That means less exposure for their school and teams, and less badly needed revenue to support their programs.

If approached properly, do you think the athletic directors would be interested to hear your plan to announce their games, promote their school AND a provide a new revenue stream for their program - at no cost or risk to them?

Of course they’d be interested, as would you, if approached with a win/win proposition.

I just finished my first regular H.S. football season w/ Rob Ryan at Clear Channel and it was a ball! I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunities that I would not have had if I had not participated in your wonderful service.

“How can I know this really works?”

 

SMA mentor, Rob Buska, provided a full-time income for his family by securing broadcasting rights in Southern California. Some of the rights Rob has secured over the years include Cal State Fullerton baseball and basketball, Cal State Long Beach baseball, Mater Dei and Santa Margarita football, as well as the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.

Matter of fact, Rob was the Titan announcer when they won the 2004 NCAA college world series...from a job he created, after he spotted the opportunity.

Roy Englebrecht, owner of the Sportscasting Camps of America, began securing local broadcasting rights dating back to the 1980’s. Roy loves to tell a story of securing the rights to UC Irvine’s basketball games – immediately naming himself the announcer - then auctioning off his co-host position to the highest bidder (on a game-by-game basis).

SMA Founder, Michael Madden, began securing broadcasting rights to local high school and junior college games in Southern Maryland during the 1990’s. During this time, Michael discovered ways to attract sponsors to call him and pay to have their business promoted.
