XFL: League announces UPN broadcasters

Thursday, Jan. 11, 2001 | 10:09 a.m.

The XFL today named the broadcast team for the telecasts on UPN of the inaugural XFL season.

Craig Minervini will handle play-by-play, Bob Golic will serve as analyst, and Lee Reherman and Kip Lewis will handle sideline reporting duties.

Minervini, sports anchor at WTVJ (NBC) in South Florida, has worked on NBC's broadcasts of Notre Dame football, and has also worked for ESPN and Prime Network.

Golic starred at Notre Dame and in the NFL before going on to a broadcasting career which included work as an analyst on NBC and Fox.

Reherman, who played one season for the Miami Dolphins and then went on to become an 'American Gladiator,' has an on-air background which most recently included working on NBC's telecast of the 2001 Gator Bowl.

Lewis is the sports anchor for WLWT (NBC) in Cincinnati.

UPN will open its XFL broadcast schedule on Feb. 4 when the Los Angeles Xtreme visits the San Francisco Demons. UPN will then carry an XFL game live in primetime every Sunday at 4 p.m. PST for the remainder of the season.
