BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Ted Patterson is a native Ohioan and a graduate of the University of Dayton (’66), with an advanced degree from Miami University (’68).

He began his broadcasting career while attending college in Dayton at a local radio station, WVUD-FM. A later association was with WPOC-FM in Baltimore. Over his long career, Patterson has handled the roles of color commentator, producer, writer, coordinator, and host of numerous radio programs including Curt Gowdy’s Inside Sports at NBC.

Patterson has been involved in nearly all professional sports at one time or another. He is noted for his commentary for the Baltimore Orioles (baseball), the Baltimore Blast/Spirit (soccer), Washington Senators (baseball), Cleveland Cavaliers (basketball), and Cleveland Crusaders (hockey). Patterson has also been involved with collegiate sports, notably Towson University, U.S. Naval Academy, and Armed Forces Radio. He is a three-time winner of Maryland Sportscaster of the Year, six-time winner of the Chesapeake Associated Press Sportscaster of the Year, and recipient of the Eclipse Award, presented by the thoroughbred racing industry.

In addition to his radio work, Patterson has published four books about sports.
