Sports broadcasting, or sportscasting, delivers live coverage of sporting events across various media, engaging audiences through commentators who meticulously research statistics and provide entertaining descriptions. Its fascinating history began with Guglielmo Marconi's 1899 broadcast of the America's Cup. Key milestones followed, including the first radio broadcast of a boxing match in Pittsburgh in 1921 and the first live televised event, the Epsom Derby in the UK, in 1931. The industry continued to innovate, introducing the first color telecast of a baseball game in 1951, with technological advancements consistently fueling public interest. Notably, in Canada, hockey broadcasting pioneer Foster Hewitt famously started his broadcasts with "Hello, Canada!", a phrase that became synonymous with CBC's iconic "Hockey Night in Canada," which debuted nationally on television in 1952.
