Philadelphia Eagles play-by-play announcer Merrill Reese has been a part of the broadcast team for over 25 years. He works on CBS affiliate 94/WYSP. Reese began his career at WPAZ in Pottstown, PA. He later became part owner of WBCB in Levittown and General Manager of the station. He was previously the Sports Director for WIP for fourteen years. He has been honored with multiple awards, including being named Philadelphia Magazine’s Best Sportscaster and the recipient of several national honors. In addition to being the Eagles’ play-by-play announcer, Merrill Reese has also handled tennis play-by-play for Madison Square Garden Television with Billie Jean King.
As a football player, Reese served his country in the United States Navy and later joined the Eagles. After returning home from the military, Reese auditioned for his first paid broadcasting job. After working as a broadcaster for a few years, he landed at two stations, WCOJ in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, and WPAZ in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
Reese hasn’t been shy about his disdain for FedEx Field, which has become the Eagles’ home base. Last season, he didn’t travel with the team and skipped the game in Washington. However, he’s still calling away games via satellite at the Linc, despite the lackluster conditions. This season, he is slated to call the home opener at FedEx Field.
Reese has said the Eagles’ quarterback Matt Hurts isn’t held back by talent. He’s got a strong offensive line behind him and a well-rounded offense, including several skill players. Moreover, the Eagles just signed A.J. Brown from the Titans. The trade made him one of the top sports broadcasters in the city, and he’s already a regular guest on shows at 94WIP.
