Can anyone help me with or provide a link to a list of Supercross announcer teams, including trackside reporters, thru the years with their tenures by year? Basically looking the 1980's to current day with Ralph, Fro, RC, Jenny....or maybe Kristin....Daniel. I googled but without much success. Figured some of the veterans of the sport might just know it from memory or know a source.
Really going deep into the history of Supercross this off season. My favorite era was the late 90's but really loving the early 90's as learning more about it.
And good broadcast teams are an important part of the presentation and I have a heavy interest in that field so wanting to know the history of SX broadcast teams. Art, David and Davey are the pinnacle to me but learning more about other eras everyday.

I'm getting used to Despain and Myers. Not my favorites, though. I like Ralph and Fro alot but they need to overhaul the segments and freshen it up. Twitter pics are garbage. Todd Harris was good, too.
Larry Huffman was entertaining but a bit comical at times. Still trying to see who else has called the races. DC, surely you know...and who's your favorites?
I miss the audio webcast. It was for the hardcore Supercross fan. Loved it.

Ha. I also like your intro voiceovers in the classic MX Superfly video game. Great stuff, man!!
David Bailey was also great, if a bit soft spoken. He actually did analysis of technique and related things to the sport's history, which he was a genuine fan of.
Despain was good. Larry Meyers was a little too goofy.
Todd Harris was annoying. Denny was great and very underrated.
Robbie Floyd was a fantastic host when he filled in. He gets it.
I have never liked Ralph very much for a lot of reasons.
Emig is too slow to jump in, too scared to level criticism, and usually seems to know of about 5 guys in the 250 class.
Carmichael was actually pretty solid in the booth, I felt. I think he is wasted as a trackside guy.
Windham was also good when they were trying him out. McGrath less so.
Jenny Taft is a goddess and too good for us.
Don't forget Denny Stephenson and then David Pingree on the TV timeline.

One name I haven't seen pop up yet is - Wendy Walsh. She was the trackside reporter and did the interviews back in the early 90's I think, it was when McGrath was still on 125's. Isn't she some kind of famous Doctor or something now ?
Listening to a race from 88 now while traveling. Its a bit over the top but I prefer him to Despain. Good times.
I like this guy. He's a lot of fun. But nothing, past or present, beats Art Eckman.
