From the Broadcast Booth

Mike Hall has been on the national level of sportscasting since 2004. At the age of 22 he was offered a one-year contract to anchor SportsCenter, instantly becoming the youngest ever person to anchor the famed program. His time at the ESPN headquarters included assignments like traveling to Tokyo, Sydney, and more for an around-the-world series of feature stories on top of his daily SportsCenter and ESPNEWS anchoring shifts. In March of 2005 ESPN created a new network called ESPNU– entirely focused on college sports, and signed Hall to a new multi-year contract making him the channel’s signature host. In 2007 Hall moved back home to Chicago to help launch the Big Ten Network. There he again hosted studio shows of all kinds while increasing his basketball play-by-play assignments. In recent years he added Fox Sports play-by-play assignments for Big Ten and Big East men’s and women’s basketball. Hall lives in Lake Forest, Illinois, with his wife of eleven years and three children.
