Wayne Cody

Wayne Cody

Wayne Cody (September 4, 1936, Atlantic City, New Jersey - June 7, 2002, Renton, Washington) was a popular radio and television sportscaster who spent the bulk of his career in Seattle, Washington, broadcasting on KIRO and KIRO-TV.

Known locally as "The Mound of Sound" for both his rich voice and his huge girth, the rotund Cody who estimated his own weight at 325 pounds, vitalized the sports scene in Western Washington for more than 20 years. He was well-known for his on-camera antics and his entertaining style of broadcasting.

Cody's original ambition was to be an actor, but his success in this field was limited. He was cast in a pilot that was never picked up, and had a brief appearance on "The Red Skelton Show". In 1992, he appeared as himself in the movie "Singles".
