A Legacy on Air: Dedication of the John C. Fountain Broadcast Booth

Give to the Fountain Sportscasters Scholarship Fund.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – At Eastern Michigan University, few names have been spoken with as much reverence and admiration as that of John C. Fountain. For nearly five decades, his voice echoed through radios across southeast Michigan, telling the stories of countless triumphs, heartaches, and memorable moments in the annals of EMU sports. On Saturday, Sept. 21, EMU dedicated the broadcast booth inside Rynearson Stadium to this legend—fittingly naming it the John C. Fountain Broadcast Booth.

The tribute, honoring a man who was the "Voice of EMU Athletics" for 44 years, could not have been more appropriate.
