SALT LAKE CITY — Legendary broadcaster Paul James, who was best known for his role as the voice of BYU sports, passed away on Saturday, multiple KSL employees have reported.

James died on Saturday, according to Ch. 5 anchorman Dave McCann and sportscaster Jeremiah Jensen.

Sad to hear of the passing of the great Paul James, the legendary voice of the Cougars died Saturday night. He set the standard for sports broadcasting @KSL5TV and #BYU. I still remember waiting for one of his broadcasts to end so I could get his autograph.
