David Hill Named the 2017 Winner of Prestigious Pete Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE @ProFootballHOF 06/27/17 #PFHOF17 Contact: Pete Fierle, Chief of Staff & Vice President of Communications [email protected]; 330-588-3622 DAVID HILL NAMED THE 2017 WINNER OF PRESTIGIOUS PETE ROZELLE RADIO-TV AWARD FORMER FOX SPORTS CHAIRMAN TO BE HONORED FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT DURING ENSHRINEMENT CEREMONY ON AUG. 5 CANTON, OHIO – David Hill, who as the first president of FOX Sports launched the NFL on FOX in 1994, has been named the 2017 recipient of the prestigious Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award. The award, presented annually by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, recognizes “longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football.” Hill will be presented with the award at the 2017 Enshrinement Ceremony on Saturday, August 5 in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Said Rupert Murdoch, Hill’s former boss and Executive Chairman of 21st Century Fox, "David Hill re-imagined and re-invigorated the sports television experience for millions of American football fans with his remarkably innovative approach to game and studio production, and this honor by the Pro Football Hall of Fame is extremely well-deserved.” Born and raised in Australia, Hill worked his way up the ranks from a 17-year-old copy boy at the Daily Telegraph in Sydney to the launching Sky Television (Britain’s first satellite distributed television service) to being appointed by Rupert Murdoch to lead FOX Sports. Hill launched an innovative, fully functional major U.S. television network sports division in just eight months. Over the next 20 years he also directly or indirectly oversaw the launch of several media outlets, including FOX Sports Net, FOXSports.com, Big Ten Network, FOX Sports 1 and others. During his tenure at FOX, Hill oversaw tens of thousands of games and events aired by FOX Sports and its affiliated national and regional channels, including six Super Bowls, COMMITMENT • INTEGRITY • COURAGE • RESPECT • EXCELLENCE 14 World Series, five NHL Stanley Cup Finals and the Daytona 500 eight times. He also created and/or served as Executive Producer of countless studio, pregame and postgame shows. Many of the techniques and innovations he introduced upon launching FOX Sports ushered in a modern era of sports television production. The consummate innovator, Hill gave NFL TV coverage a much-needed injection of youth, enthusiasm and energy, and forced all NFL rights holders to quickly follow. The result was an improved television presentation of football that has the league on the cutting-edge in terms of video production for over two decades and counting. A few innovations he conceived or introduced to American sports television viewers through NFL on FOX coverage, include: FoxBox, the on-screen constant-score-and-clock graphic that also made possible real-time score/time updates from games league-wide; the yellow on-screen first down line, the patent for which bears Hill’s name; and FOX NFL SUNDAY, a one-hour pregame show, that has been the most-watched NFL pregame show since its inception in 1994. When Hill stepped down from his position as FOX Sports Chairman in 2015, he started his own production company, Hilly, Inc. The company’s first undertaking was to produce the 88th Oscarsâ which aired in February 2016, receiving major critical acclaim. He is currently co-promoting the U.S. Masters, the first World Series of Darts event hosted on American soil, which takes place at the Tropicana Las Vegas next month. “David Hill was great for the NFL on television,” shared Pro Football Hall of Famer John Madden. “When FOX got the NFL years ago, David was open to anything and everything. He brought the FoxBox and the first down line and a lot of other great ideas to the screen.” Hill is the first executive to win the Pet Rozelle Radio-Television Award since Roone Arledge in 2001, and it so happens that Hill is a great admirer of Mr. Arledge.

  • Why John Madden Football Has Been Such a Success
    Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Case History Athletic competition has been a part of the human culture since its inception. One of the most popular and successful sports of today’s culture is American football. This sport has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, and like the video game industry, has become a multi-billion entity. It was only a matter of time until game developers teamed up with the National Football League (NFL) to bring magnificent sport to video game players across the globe. There are few, if any, game genres that are as popular as sports games. With the ever-increasing popularity of the NFL, it was inevitable that football games would become one of the most lucrative of the sports game genre. With all of the companies making football games for consoles and PCs during the late 1980s and 1990s, there is one particular company that clearly stood and remains above the rest, Electronic Arts. EA Sports, the sports division of Electronic Arts, revolutionized not only the football sports games but also the entire sports game genre itself. Before Electronic Arts entered the sports realm, league licenses, celebrity endorsements, and re-release of games were all unheard of. EA was one of the first companies to release the same game annually, creating several series of games that are thriving even today.
