CBS, FOX lineup showcases new faces for NFL season

The NFL on CBS is set to make history this season, as the network unveiled its talent roster for its games. In addition to the previously-announced lead team of Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson, CBS Sports added play-by-play announcer Beth Mowins to the 2017 NFL lineup. The move makes Mowins the first woman to ever call play-by-play for the network’s NFL games, where she will join game analyst Jay Feely starting Sept. 24 to call Cleveland/Indianapolis. Of course, she will actually begin the season by calling a Monday Night matchup for ESPN for the Chargers/Broncos matchup. CBS groupings this year will also include: Ian Eagle/Dan Fouts//Evan Washburn; Greg Gumbel/Trent Green//Jamie Erdahl; Kevin Harlan/Rich Gannon; Andrew Catalon/James Lofton; Spero Dedes/Adam Archuleta; and Tom McCarthy/Steve Tasker/Steve Beuerlein.

Around the dial, FOX Sports also detailed its broadcast talent for the new season, anchored of course by Joe Buck and Troy Aikman along with reporter Erin Andrews. Rounding out the teams will be: Kevin Burkhardt/Charles Davis/Pam Oliver; Kenny Albert/Ronde Barber/Kristina Pink; Chris Myers/Daryl Johnston/Laura Okmin; Dick Stockton/Mark Schlereth/Shannon Spake; Thom Brennaman/Chris Spielman/Peter Schrager and Sam Rosen/David Diehl/Jennifer Hale.
