| Bio: |
The reigning United League Baseball Broadcaster and Communications Executive of the Year, Jonah Goldberg enters his fourth season as the Director of Communications with the WhiteWings. His responsibilities include providing the play-by-play for broadcasts of all WhiteWings games, writing press releases and game notes as well as maintaining the website.
Jonah has carved a niche covering Valley sports. He is the full-time Director of Communications with the NBA Development League Champion Rio Grande Valley Vipers, where he handles the team's public and media relations as well as the website. He also serves as one of the radio broadcasters. Jonah has also been the home color commentator for the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees (Central Hockey League) and the sideline reporter for the Rio Grande Valley Dorados (af2). Prior to that he was the voice of University of Texas-Pan American basketball and baseball as well as an Assistant Sports Information Director.
Jonah grew up in Merrick, New York and graduated from Boston University's College of Communication in May 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism. He was on the broadcast journalism track and also had a concentration in political science. Jonah spent four years working at WTBU, where he joined the sports staff and became Sports Director for his final year. Jonah served as the voice of WTBU's flagship coverage of BU women's basketball from 2005-07 and called games for eight different BU sports (men's & women's soccer, basketball and ice hockey in addition to women's lacrosse and softball). Jonah also worked in the studio and served as a men's basketball beat reporter for the 2004-05 season. Jonah worked a record 248 games at WTBU and was also the first freshman to ever call a game, serving as the color commentator for the women's lacrosse game against Brown University on April 14, 2004. He also served as co-host of the Monday Night Sports Block for three years and a co-host of the award-winning show, Terrier Talk, for two years. It wasn't all about sports at WTBU for Jonah, though, as he was the DJ for an award-winning show called Chicken in a Cup. That show featured a mix of music and talk, both serious and comical with topics ranging from the Massachusetts gubernatorial race (including a 30 minute interview with eventual winner Deval Patrick) to the origin of ping pong. Jonah opened every show by reminding his listeners that "random things happen at random times in random places in no chronological order. Get used to it." |
