Brynna Rogers Makes Super Bowl Broadcast History

Brynna Rogers, a broadcast engineer for Bonneville Seattle, will make history Sunday as the first woman to engineer a Super Bowl play-by-play radio broadcast in the NFL. Rogers, who works on Seattle Sports 710 AM and KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM, is currently the league's only female play-by-play broadcast engineer. Her milestone comes as the Seattle Seahawks take the field on football's biggest stage.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Rogers said. "I have to stop every once in a while, look around, and take it in-to remind myself that this is really cool and that not many people get to do this."

As play-by-play broadcast engineer, Rogers is responsible for mixing announcer microphones and managing audio quality in real time, a role that requires constant precision and split-second decision-making to ensure a seamless listening experience for fans.

Throughout the 2025 season, Rogers has engineered Seahawks broadcasts featuring longtime radio voice Steve Raible, helping deliver each game to listeners across the Pacific Northwest with clarity and consistency.

Rogers said she hopes her visibility during the Super Bowl broadcast will encourage more women to pursue careers in broadcast engineering and other STEM-related fields.

"It's a really hard field to get into for women, and when you add the STEM aspect, it's even harder," she said. "It feels like I got my foot in the door -- and now I want to hold that door open for everyone behind me."

Rogers began working with the Seahawks in 2017 as the broadcast engineer for the team's pregame show on KIRO Newsradio and Seattle Sports, a role she held for eight seasons. The 2025 season marked her first year as the team's play-by-play broadcast engineer, traveling with the Seahawks and contributing to all 20 games, including postseason play.

"Brynna's achievement is extraordinary, not just for our organization, but for the entire industry," said Cathy Cangiano, Senior Vice President and Market Manager for Bonneville Seattle. "Her talent, poise, and commitment to excellence have elevated every Seahawks broadcast this season. We are incredibly proud of her, and we hope her historic moment inspires young women everywhere to see themselves in roles like this."
