Brian Anderson (sportscaster)

Brian Anderson (born June 7, 1971) is an American sportscaster for the Milwaukee Brewers and TNT Sports. Since 2007, he has called play-by-play for the Milwaukee Brewers' telecasts on their various regional sports networks. As a part of his work on the 2007 Brewers Preview Show, Anderson and the then-Fox Sports team were awarded a regional Emmy Award.

Anderson also calls March Madness games for TNT Sports and CBS Sports, along with regular season college basketball games, MLB games, NBA games, The Match golf franchise, and French Open Tennis for TNT Sports.

Anderson started his career in 1991 as an intern with the San Antonio Spurs while still in college, as a broadcast technician and cameraman. From 1998 to 2000, Anderson handled Minor League and Little League Baseball telecasts for ESPN. He received his start in baseball with the San Antonio Missions, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, serving as a radio/television play-by-play announcer from 1994 to 1998 and from 2000 to 2003. For the Missions, he also was a batting practice pitcher and porter for players.

Anderson worked as a play-by-play announcer at The Golf Channel from 2003 to 2006. In his role there, he served as a host for a variety of the network's events, including the PGA and Nationwide Tours. While with the Spurs, Anderson moved to the front of the camera with FSN Southwest as a sideline reporter for the Spurs from 1999 to 2007, where he saw them win three NBA Championships.

Starting in 2007, Anderson moved on to be the play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers on Fox Sports Wisconsin. He is joined by color commentator Bill Schroeder. The duo occasionally also did games for WMLW, a local over-the-air channel in the Milwaukee metro area, but Fox Sports Wisconsin has since become the exclusive local broadcast partner for the Brewers. Anderson remains a member of the Brewers' broadcast booth today.

Since 2008, Anderson has been part of the Major League Baseball on TBS crew as a play-by-play announcer for postseason coverage, calling the Brewers-Phillies National League Division Series in 2008, the Rockies-Phillies series in 2009, the Reds-Phillies series in 2010 and the Yankees-Tigers American League Division Series in 2011. In 2012, Anderson worked the NL Wild Card Game and NLDS. In 2013, he worked the American League Wild Card tiebreaker between the Rays and Rangers, the AL Wild Card Game and ALDS. From 2014 to 2017, Anderson served as the secondary play-by-play announcer for TBS during the Division Series.

In 2011, Anderson covered for Ernie Johnson during the National League Championship Series, which only by coincidence had the Brewers against the Cardinals; his role was announced before the playoff seedings for the NLDS were fully set. Anderson again returned to calling LCS in 2017, when he called the 2017 National League Championship Series for TBS, as Ernie Johnson was focused on NBA on TNT duties. He has continued to call the LCS every year since.

In 2018, Anderson once again served as lead play-by-play announcer during the MLB postseason in place of Johnson, who stepped aside due to blood clots and being advised not to fly. In this role, Anderson was on the call of the first-ever Division Series featuring the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
