A University of Arkansas Athletic Department/Media job listing as referenced through Indeed.com seeks:
“lead play-by-play talent for all selected SEC Network broadcasts originating from the Broadcast Services department on the University of Arkansas campus, as well as overseeing the strategic planning of video content for ArkansasRazorbacks.com, official media platforms and other broadcast outlets affiliated with the department”
to be under the supervision of “Assistant Athletic Director for Broadcast Services.” Michelle Glover is current Assistant Athletic Director for Broadcast Services at the University of Arkansas.
The open dates for the listing are from June 6, 2017 through June 20, 2017. The listing was originally accessed on June 11, 2017 and appeared to be available on this particular site beginning on June 10, 2017.
The listing was forwarded from an individual who is in media, albeit not in the Arkansas media, and who uses this website regularly to stay abreast of media positions. Just below the University of Arkansas entry are two entries for Little Rock University.
This is clearly NOT a position replacing RADIO play-by-play announcers Chuck Barrett (football and basketball) or Phil Elson (baseball & women’s basketball.) This is video-oriented.
At the moment it is unclear if this position is in addition to all others or whether it will subsume another position.
At the moment it is unclear if this person will be THE PERSON for ALL SEC Network broadcasts coming from Fayetteville. The listing has the qualifier “selected” SEC Network broadcasts. Conceivably not all would be selected and that a more national or regional crew may call the game.
This post may be edited as additional information/verification is available. Attempts to reach out to UA yesterday weren’t successful. (It was a Sunday, and people do take time off from jobs on the weekend and over the summer. No stones cast from this direction.) Another attempt was made today but only a short time before posting. — Sharp
