The announcer taking over baseball coverage on TNT after Bob Costas will be the same person who replaced legendary hockey announcer Bob Miller in 2017. Miller had a remarkable 44-year career calling Los Angeles Kings games before retiring.
Yes, Alex Faust has experience replacing a titan of the airwaves.
Costas, a Hall of Fame broadcaster, retired after a remarkable 44-year career. His last assignment covering Major League Baseball was the 2024 American League Division Series, where the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals in four games.
At 36, Kate Faust currently announces Friday night Major League Baseball games on Apple TV+. She’s also the radio announcer for the New York Rangers and contributes to hockey and tennis broadcasts on TNT Sports. She previously worked with the Los Angeles Kings, but left in 2023 after their TV contract with Bally Sports ended.
Costas will still be on MLB Network, but he’s stepping away from doing live game commentary. He last appeared on the radio as a guest on NPR’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” on September 13th.
Bob Costas shared stories about being cut from his high school baseball team and a slightly awkward mistake he made early in his broadcasting career. Then, he flawlessly answered all three trivia questions about the Emmy Awards.
Television
I have to say, the 77th Primetime Emmys delivered some fantastic wins! Shows like “Severance,” “The Pitt,” “The Studio,” “Hacks,” “Adolescence,” and even “The Penguin” all took home awards. It was a really diverse night, and those series definitely deserved the recognition.
Costas playfully announced he’d achieved a rare feat – getting three things right in a row – and jokingly compared it to winning a major award three times. When host Peter Segal asked what they should call this accomplishment, Costas quipped, “The Costi.”
Bob Costas, 73, is a broadcasting legend who deserves recognition beyond his already impressive accolades. He’s won 29 Emmys and hosted the Olympic Games on prime-time television for 12 times between 1988 and 2016. Beyond the Olympics, he’s also called three World Series and ten MLB championship series.
Costas announced his retirement from baseball play-by-play in November, explaining to Tom Verducci that he’d been planning it for over a year. He stated he was no longer able to perform at the level he expected of himself.
Bob Costas discusses his retirement from announcing sports events and looks back on his career in a conversation with Tom Verducci.
