Joe D'Ambrosio

Joe D'Ambrosio (born July 19, 1953, in Hartford, Connecticut) is an American sports broadcaster. Known as “the Voice of the Huskies,” he has been the play-by-play announcer for the University of Connecticut’s football and men's basketball games on WTIC (AM) NewsTalk 1080 ( [http://www.wtic.com www.wtic.com] ) since 1992. He also broadcasts select UConn baseball, soccer, and women's basketball games. He and colleague Kevin Nathan alternate hosting duties for the long-running weeknight sports call-in show “Sports Talk,” also on WTIC. Additionally, he is seen regularly on WVIT-TV where he provides weekly “Husky Insider” updates during football and basketball seasons, and where he also fills in as sports anchor.

D’Ambrosio is heard nationally on ESPN radio as a SportsCenter update anchor, and during baseball season he hosts the Sunday night show MLB on ESPN Radio. During his tenure with ESPN, he has covered major sporting events including several World Series and Major League Baseball All-Star games. For more than ten years, he has held the unusual distinction of being employed by the corporations owning ABC (ESPN), NBC (WVIT-TV), and CBS (WTIC AM) simultaneously.

He has been named Connecticut Sportscaster of the Year six times by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. On ESPN.com, Dick Vitale named D’Ambrosio as one of the sixteen best college play-by-play announcers.

He currently resides in Bloomfield, Connecticut.
