Atlanta United’s radio play-by-play team got some special recognition Saturday at the Georgia Association of Broadcasters’ annual Gabby Awards, taking home the Class A award for Best Sports Play by Play for their broadcast of the 2018 MLS Cup.
Play-by-play announcer Mike Conti, color commentator Jason Longshore and production director James Fairey were individually named as well as the entire Sports Radio 92-9 The Game broadcast team. The specific call that was honored was the iconic final moments of the MLS Cup match that saw Atlanta United bring home the city’s first major championship in decades.
“We’ve said from the beginning that we wanted Atlanta United to be top class in every aspect,” said Atlanta United President Darren Eales.
