Big news for one of the young shining stars in the broadcast field. After a season as the Salem Red Sox play-by-play announcer, Melanie Newman is on the move. Wednesday the Baltimore Orioles named Newman to their TV broadcast team.
This past season, Newman made history becoming the first female to be a lead play-by-play announcer for a Carolina League team. Newman also made more history as part of the first all female radio broadcast team for a college football bowl game when she was the sideline reporter for last December’s Cure Bowl which the Liberty Flames won.
Speaking of Liberty, the past season she was the sideline reporter for Flames football.
