Sportscaster

Domenic Scarano 

I am a sports fanatic, as I would imagine most of you who are reading this are. I follow everything religiously and have for as long as I can remember.

I grew up in Northern Virginia where I went to high school. After graduating, I headed north to Connecticut where I attended Quinnipiac University in Hamden and where it is cold as hell. I know, I know, sounds weird, in fact, you probably can’t even tell how it sounds, its pronounced Quinn-e-p-ack. It’s a small private school outside of New Haven, it’s right near Yale…it’s not Yale, but it’s near there. I graduated in ‘06 with a degree in Mass Communications concentrating in Broadcast Journalism. While in school I was lucky enough to experience a fraction of the wonderful world of sports journalism.

In between my sophomore and junior year I interned for the sports department at WRC-TV channel 4 in Washington DC, the NBC affiliate. I worked for the George Michael Sports Machine, some of you may know it. It’s a nationally broadcast sports highlights show which airs on NBC every Sunday night, or used to, unfortunately I believe it will being coming off-air very soon. At NBC I was lucky enough to attend some Washington Redskins practices and DC United games.

My senior year was by far the busiest and most enjoyable part of my life to this point. At the beginning of the year I was able to land an internship working with ESPN at their headquarters in Bristol, in their International Department, specifically soccer. All the while continuing my work with Q30 and WQAQ which I started my sophomore year. The internship was priceless. It was an incredible experience one from which I learned a great deal.  My work there basically consisted of helping broadcast European league and International soccer. I’ll tell you watching Barcelona games and eating chinese food with Marcelo Balboa is just as exciting as it sounds.  I then landed an internship back home, this time with WTTG-TV channel 5, the local FOX affiliate. Again, it was in the sports department. It was just as much fun as the others if not more. This time the Redskins were making a Playoff run during my time there and I was able to be right in the middle of it, attending practices and helping out in any way possible. When it was over and I headed back to school I found out the weekly two-hour radio show I had been co-hosting and producing with my friend Robert Guerrera, who is currently working with ESPN radio, had won a “Best Show” award. Now we are podcasting First and Forever right here on Sportscaster!

By the time I graduated things had come together really well. I have three major internships under my belt and priceless experience in the some of the country’s most competitive environments. I am currently a Producer for the PGA TOUR network on Sirius XM Radio.

Like Dom, I also attended Quinnipiac University.  I graduated a semester early in 2006 with a degree in communications concentrating in broadcast journalism.  Despite the fact that I live in Connecticut, I’ve always rooted for the 49ers, Mariners, and Sonics, which has spared me from the usual tunnel-vision of the typical New England sports fan.

Throughout my time at Quinnipiac, I’ve worked for WQUN, and interned at ESPN Radio, where I am now employed as a full-time production assistant.

My time at ESPN Radio has taught me a wide variety of skills and exposed me to countless new experiences (not to mention the nickname “Stats”).  I have worked, on as well as operated the control board for, every single show on the network, and I also produce The Andy Gresh Show and ESPN Today on the weekends.  Those responsibilities have brought me into contact with a wide array of people and personalities, which have only helped me grow, both personally and professionally.  Right now I am running the control board three days a week for Greeny and Golic on Mike & Mike in the Morning.

I am twenty-three years old, was born and raised in Prospect, Connecticut, and have lived in the Nutmeg State my whole life.  After graduating from Quinnipiac, I took up residence in Hamden with my beautiful fiancé, Erin, who I will marry in late September.
