Announcer and reporter Lisa Byington will become the first woman to call play-by-play in the history of the NCAA tournament.
Byington and Tom McCarthy were added as play-by-play announcers for this year's tournament, which features two broadcast teams for CBS and Turner Sports. Byington began working as a March Madness reporter with CBS and Turner in 2017.
She began her broadcasting career with WBKB-TV in Alpena, Mich., before moving to WLNS-TV in Lansing. In her next job, Byington made her first appearance with the Big Ten Network in 2007 during the network's opening football weekend.
