Joe Buck

Joe Buck

Joe Buck has earned the distinction as one of sports' premier play-by-play broadcasters, as evidenced by his four Emmy Award wins in 1999 and 2001-2003. Buck currently handles lead play-by-play duties for FOX Sports' Award winning NFL and MLB coverage, teaming with future Hall of Famer Troy Aikman and fellow Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth while on assignment with the NFL on FOX, and three-time Emmy Award-winning analyst Tim McCarver while working out of the MLB on FOX booth. Buck is the first play-by-play announcer to handle lead MLB and NFL coverage in the same year since NBC's Curt Gowdy and ABC's Al Michaels.

Buck began his play-by-play career in the NFL on FOX broadcast booth, where he worked from 1994-1997. He and NFL on FOX analyst Tim Green formed one of the network's original six NFL broadcast teams in 1994, when at age of 25, Buck was the youngest announcer to call a regular slate of NFL games on network television.

The son of late broadcasting legend Jack Buck, Joe has recently begun advocating for education and awareness of lung cancer, which claimed his father's life in 2002. Formalizing his commitment, Buck has now established a working partnership with Lung Cancer Alliance, the only national non-profit organization providing patient support and advocacy exclusive to those living with or at risk for lung cancer. Through this partnership, Joe is committed to helping LCA increase awareness about the most lethal of all cancers and the need for greater resources for research, to help detect, prevent and treat lung cancer earlier.
