The new deal will begin in 2013 and at its conclusion, Berman will have worked for ESPN for nearly 40 years. Six-time National Sportscaster of the Year, Berman will continue as the leading voice and face of ESPN’s National Football League studio coverage as host of Sunday NFL Countdown for a 28th year, Monday Night Countdown and Monday Night Football halftime, NFL highlight segments on SportsCenter and the NFL Draft. He will also continue to host the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby and ESPN’s U.S. Open golf coverage. Additionally, Berman will handle play-by-play for the first time in his career on Monday night, Sept. 10, when he calls the San Diego Chargers-Oakland Raiders game alongside Trent Dilfer as part of ESPN’s season-opening MNF doubleheader.
