Westwood One Sports' "Monday Night Football" announcer Kevin Harlan has been named "2017 National Sportscaster of the Year" by the National Sports Media Hall of Fame. Harlan will be behind the mic for Westwood One's coverage of the NFC Championship game this Sunday and for Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis on February 4 -- his eighth straight Super Bowl broadcast for Westwood One. Harlan also currently calls play-by-play for CBS Sports' coverage of both the NFL and NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

Harlan joined CBS Sports in 1998 as an NFL play-by-play announcer, after having served in the same capacity for Fox Sports since 1994. This was his 33rd consecutive season broadcasting the NFL and with his additional role as play-by-play announcer for the NBA on TNT, this also marks his 30th season broadcasting the NBA. Harlan spent nine seasons (1985-93) as the voice of the Kansas City Chiefs and was the voice of the Minnesota Timberwolves for nine seasons as well. Harlan also called the Final Four on Westwood One from 2003-2007.
