Beth Mowins made ESPN history in 2017 when she was the first woman to call a “Monday Night Football” game. She will again be part of a network first on Wednesday when ESPN produces an NBA game announced and directed by all women.
Mowins will work the Golden State Warriors-Utah Jazz game with analyst Doris Burke and reporter Lisa Salters. In addition, 33 other women will handle production roles on site in Salt Lake City and in the control room from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut.
“I think it’s exciting to kind of celebrate," Mowins said. ”There are a lot of the women that have been around the league for a while, and then others like me that are kind of new to it."
Mowins believes the time is coming when having a game called and produced by a majority crew of women will be routine.
