former NASCAR broadcaster [with TNN] will be one of four play-by-play men who will help fans enjoy the Arena Football League when it debuts on NBC. Gold has spent the past few seasons calling play-by-play for AFL games for The National Network (TNN). But with NBC taking the reins of the sport solely for the first time, Gold was among four play-by-play men and four color analysts the network hired to cover the action. Gold is a four-time Alabama Sportscaster Of The Year winner as voted by his peers in the National Sportscasters And Sportswriters Association. He was twice selected Alabama Sportscaster Of The Year by the Associated Press and once earned the same honor from United Press International. The other networks have Golds 2003 calendar pretty much booked already. Gold is also anchor and pit reporter for NASCAR Live. And this fall, his Monday nights will be occupied as play-by-play man for NFL games aired by CBS Radio.( Arenafan.com )(1-27-2003)
