CBS hires female for play-by-play
Beth Mowins will become the first woman to call NFL play-by-play for CBS.
Mowins will team with former NFL kicker Jay Feely for her debut on Sept. 24 when Cleveland plays at Indianapolis. The network released its announcer pairings Tuesday.
Mowins will start the season calling a Monday night NFL game between the Chargers and Broncos for ESPN. She will be the second woman to call play-by-play for a regular-season game, first since NBC’s Gayle Sierens in 1987.
