Matt Vasgersian, lead announcer for Channel 4 Padres heads east and becomes the lead anchor for the MLB Network on January 1. Read Matt’s good-bye at DuckSnorts’ blog.
From Channel 4: “Matt has done a great job for us for seven years, and the fact that he’s been given this new role on the national stage is a testament to how good he is as what he does, and the fact that Channel 4 San Diego’s Padres coverage is recognized nationally,” said Craig Nichols, Vice President and General Manager of Channel 4 San Diego. “We worked really hard to keep Matt in San Diego, but MLB Network was such a fantastic opportunity for him.”
“The decision to leave Cox, Channel 4 San Diego and the Padres was bittersweet because I love this community and I’m leaving one of the best seats in baseball,” said Vasgersian, “but looking forward, I’m really excited and quite flattered to be a part of the new MLB Network from the ground level.”
The MLB Network will be available on Cox Cable and others early next year.
