STEVE RONDINARO To Host ESPN2 DCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

(From ShopTalk)

STEVE RONDINARO will be seen around the country on TUESDAY NIGHT SEPTEMBER 6TH AT 10 PM on ESPN2 doing something a bit unusual for a career TV news guy. Rondinaro is hosting THE DRUM CORPS INTERNATIONAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMER MUSIC GAMES.

While it's Rondinaro's 27th year to host the broadcast, it has been shown on PBS until this year.

"The half time show is now the game. We're excited to have one air date and time for the entire UNITED STATES and Steve is the perfect guy to help us make the on-air transition from PBS to ESPN2," says DCI's DAN ACHESON.

ESPN2 reaches more than 88-MILLION U.S. HOMES. The two hour broadcast includes highlights and behind the scenes features from this year's championship at THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS' GILLETTE STADIUM in FOXBORO, MASSACHUSETTS.

"What these young people do on the field today is downright amazing," says Rondinaro. "We were pretty good in our day with THE WATKINS GLEN SQUIRES, but the activity has taken a quantum leap forward since I hung up my marching shoes in the mid 70's."

STEVE RONDINARO and his wife TAMMY currently own and operate a television station in BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA. Prior to that they built up and sold a three station radio group.

Rondinaro previously anchored and reported TV news in MIAMI and ORLANDO, FLORIDA.
