| Longtime sports pillar Dick Stockton is retiring after a 55-year run on TV that spanned at least 1,545 network television games across the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, more than any American sports broadcaster ever. He joined FOX Sports in 1994 and has been with the network ever since, serving as play-by-play announcer for NFL, MLB and college basketball.
“After a fulfilling 55-year career, I’ve decided to step aside, enjoying the many memorable events I’ve been blessed to cover, and ready to enjoy doing more things away from the broadcast booth,” Stockton said. “My 27 years at FOX Sports have been the most rewarding, and my talented production colleagues and a loyal, supportive management have made the experience more pleasurable than I had ever hoped. I wish everyone in my field could work for FOX Sports. Working alongside former players and coaches, many of whom are still in the FOX rotation, has been a particular joy. But I feel there is a time to call it a day and allow the many younger broadcasters the chance to develop their careers, just as I had the opportunity years ago. I have nothing but indelible memories of being part of the sports landscape for over seven decades and will now sit back and watch the future of sports broadcasting unfold.”
“Dick’s contributions to FOX Sports began on day one of our existence and will be felt for years to come,” said Eric Shanks, CEO & Executive Producer, FOX Sports. “He is a cornerstone of this company whose legacy, talent and hard work helped build the NFL on FOX brand. Growing up as a sports fan, I knew his voice signified a big game, but later working with him, I realized just how big and irreplaceable that voice truly is. Dick will be greatly missed, and we at FOX Sports wish him the best in retirement.”

FOX Sports and the New York Racing Association are doubling down on their partnership, not only expanding their current agreement, but also making FOX Sports the official wagering partner of NYRA Bets.
