Lisa Byington, an ambitious sportscaster for the Big Ten Network doing play-by-plays, is now sportscasting for the school she attended and graduated from, Northwestern University. She is another woman dominating this career. She also has her own website that features some of her history, photos, videos, blog, and social media accounts. She has worked her way through many different job titles and stations to be at the level she is now. Her little jobs in the beginning are no less to her than the big job she now takes on because they gave her experience and skills in reporting. As the first female doing play-by-plays in the Big Ten Network she is a role model to all females wishing to pursue sportscasting. Kristen Ray who interviews Byington in a podcast discusses Byington and women in sports on TV. It is a phenonmenal interview that should be heard by all women pursuing sportscasting!
