Sports aren’t complicated, so let’s just tell it like it is. That’s the Dan Roan guide to sportscasting a nutshell. A welcome take on the day’s sporting events, after watching complexities unfold in all of the news segments prior to the sports. In addition to WGN news, Dan also covers WGN’s pre and post-game broadcasts, along with college Rich King, making up Chicago’s most reliable news sports-anchor team over the last 25 years.
Dan joined WGN in 1984, after working for CBS Champaign. Currently, Dan is the second longest tenured News Sports Anchor in Chicago and he has been doing it every day with a big smile.
It was also once said, that Dan Roan challenged Joey Chestnut to a Chicago Style Hot Dog eating contest, and won. Whether or not that’s more than a myth, it yet to be known. But Dan was nice enough to play it down, and not ruin Joey’s reputation.
