...the TV announcer. From the
Eau Claire Leader-Telegram:
Of all the TV stations in Wisconsin that have carried Bob Brainerd's voice and image during professional and prep sporting events, Eau Claire's WEAU was the first.
His broadcasting career spans about 25 years, including calling Milwaukee Brewers games for Fox Sports Wisconsin and minor league games throughout the state for Time Warner Cable.
But he credits his first job reporting on local sports in Eau Claire as a time when he learned that people demand coverage for local teams, just as they would for the majors.
"After a while I got to see the passion everyone had for it, and I figured it out," he said during a phone interview from his Delafield home.
Brainerd spent the first 8 1/2 years of his career working for WEAU, which has been the longest he stayed at one job.
A little employment history is followed by either a typo or a mistake.
Occasionally, Brainerd gets back to Eau Claire when the Express baseball team plays the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers of Appleton or the Green Bay Bullfrogs.
I'm feeling generous based on the amount of mistakes I'm making around here lately...But, when did the Midwest League add Eau Claire?
