Bruce Macgowan has been working in radio and Television as a sportscaster for nearly 40 years, with most of that experience involving Bay Area pro and college teams. ‘Big Bruce’ as he was known locally, was a talk show host, update anchor, sports reporter, and fill in play by play announcer for nearly 18 years at KNBR 680, “The Sports Leader” from 1988 through 2006.
Macgowan, who started his career in the mid 1970s as a TV sportscaster in Eureka, California, also had a stint as a sportscaster for KPTV-12 in Portland, where he worked as a sports interview show host at KVI radio in Seattle and also spent a year in New York City as a sports anchor for United Press International Radio, which served over 1600 stations in North America.
In addition to working at KNBR, Macgowan has spent time as a sports anchor on KGO radio, worked on the pre and post games shows on LIVE 105FM and KFRC as a pre and post game host for the Oakland Raider broadcasts, did web TV for Stanford during the 2010 football season (Jim Harbaugh’s last year before joining the 49ers), and did pre game feature interviews for Fox Sportsnet Bay Area on the Giants and A’s TV broadcasts.
Macgowan has also written regular sports columns for the Marin IJ, the San Francisco Examiner, the Ultimate Sports Guide, and the Sacramento Union.
He has covered over 4,000 pro and college
sports events since 1970, and also hosts a series on on-stage conversations in
Mill Valley with Bay Area sports legends at the 142 Throckmorton Theatre.
