From the Pawtucket Red Sox website:
The Pawtucket Red Sox, in conjunction with Sports Radio 790 The Score, announce that Dan Hoard has been hired as their new radio broadcaster for the 2006 season. Dan will join partner Steve Hyder, who returns for his third season, in broadcasting all 144 PawSox games on 790 The Score and the nine-station PawSox Radio Network. Hoard was chosen among more than 100 nationwide applicants to replace Dave Jageler who in January accepted a radio job with the Washington Nationals. (Jageler thus became the third PawSox radio broadcaster to go to the Major Leagues in the past three years).
Hoard, 42, has spent the past 11 years in Cincinnati where he was involved in Cincinnati Reds telecasts and radio broadcasts (1995-2005). Prior to that he spent 11 years as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Syracuse Chiefs of the International League (1985-1995).
Dan most recently was the Sports Director, as well as Sports Anchor/Reporter, for WXIX-TV 19 in Cincinnati which is one of the nation’s highest-rated Fox affiliates. In 2005 he concluded his sixth season as host of “Real Reds”, the Cincinnati Reds pre-game show on Fox Sports Net Ohio. He has also substituted on Reds radio and television broadcasts since the 2000 season. Furthermore, from 1996-2006 he has been a play-by-play announcer for both the University of Cincinnati’s football and men’s basketball teams – first on television from 1996-2000 and then on radio from 2001-2006 on 700 WLW Radio (heard in 38 states).
After graduating from Syracuse University and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1985, Dan served as the voice of Syracuse University basketball, football, and lacrosse. He was also named as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Syracuse Chiefs (now SkyChiefs) of the International League in 1985 – a job he held through the 1995 season before moving to Cincinnati in 1996. In fact, from 1991-1995 he actually did just the home games for the Chiefs in between doing his sports reports on the 6:00 & 11:00 pm news on WTVH-TV in Syracuse.
Hoard had a stint filling in on New York Mets broadcasts on WFAN Radio during the 2001 season (working with former PawSox broadcaster Gary Cohen). Dan has won Emmy Awards in all three possible categories – anchoring, reporting, and play-by-play.
Dan and his wife Peg Rusconi, a reporter for CBS-4 television in Boston, are expecting their first child in May.
