Can someone tell me the names of the announcers?
The text above says who the hosts and commentators are but it’s NOT correct.
I finally heard them give their names, after 4 days of coverage, but i didn’t know them or how to spell them. How weird is it that they don’t introduce themselves?!
Mark Aresky?
Tony Kalukisky?
