THIS IS THE SPORTS SPECTRUM PODCAST WITH MATT FORTE & JASON ROMANO, FEATURING MELANIE NEWMAN
Melanie Newman is a broadcaster with the Baltimore Orioles, serving as a play-by-play voice, reporter and host with the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. She has also done broadcast work with MLB Network, MLB on BBC and “Friday Night Baseball” on Apple TV+.
She is the first woman to be a play-by-play announcer for the Orioles and one of only four female play-by-play broadcasters active in MLB. In September 2021, Newman teamed with Jessica Mendoza to call a Dodgers-Padres game on ESPN, marking the first time an all-female broadcast team called a nationally televised MLB game.
Today on the podcast, Melanie Newman shares her journey in broadcasting, the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field, and the importance of faith and marriage in her life. Melanie shares her experiences of overcoming obstacles, the significance of Scripture, and her aspirations for the future.
