Scott Fowler: For new Panthers radio announcer Anish Shroff, this is the job of a lifetime

Anish Shroff Mike Golic Jr ESPN NC Bruce Springsteen Jake Delhomme Jordan Gross Carolina Charlotte Bob Costas

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When you first turn on a Carolina Panthers radio broadcast this year, you’re going to hear an unfamiliar voice.

That voice — the new voice of the franchise — belongs to radio play-by-play announcer Anish Shroff. In a position that has only changed over once every 14 years, Shroff will take over what he calls a dream job. His first game for Carolina will come Saturday, when he calls the Panthers’ preseason 1 p.m. contest at Washington.

Shroff already does play-by-play for college sports on ESPN and will also keep that TV job, which will necessitate some busy travel each weekend during the fall. Frequently, Shroff plans to broadcast a college game on Saturday for ESPN, then fly or drive to wherever the Panthers are to call their Sunday game.
