Jobs Outlook
- The projected percent change in employment from 2016 to 2026: -8%
- While this is true for all announcers, including those who do not cover sporting events, the decline in employment prospects for sports broadcasters working as live, on-air radio or TV announcers is expected to be similar.
- The work can be both physically and emotionally stressful. If the sports commentator is one that is working live inside the stadium, then there will be some travelling involved for the individual.
