River Cats name interim broadcaster

Doskow to serve as interim broadcaster for Oakland
By
March 30, 2012
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Sacramento River Cats have named Rob McAllister interim broadcaster for both home and road games following the announcement that River Cats long-time broadcaster Johnny Doskow will serve as interim broadcaster for the Oakland A's.

McAllister, a Rocklin native, began his broadcasting career as a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he was the primary sports commentator for the soccer, basketball and baseball athletic programs. After college, McAllister served as the on-air personality for the ESPN affiliate in Maui, before returning to Sacramento.

McAllister currently serves as a reporter for KFBK 92.5 FM and 1530 AM, in addition to calling high school football and basketball games for KNCO-AM in Nevada County. He is also the in-studio host for Sacramento State Hornets football broadcasts.

Doskow will call Saturday's River Cats exhibition game against the Oakland A's before joining the A's broadcast team for the Bay Bridge Series, which begins April 2 at AT&T Park in San Francisco. McAllister's first game in the River Cats broadcast booth will be Thursday, April 5, at 7:05 p.m. from Cashman Field in Las Vegas, where the Cats take on the Las Vegas 51s.

All 144 River Cats games will be broadcast locally on Talk 650 KSTE and online at rivercats.com.

Tickets are still available for Saturday's exhibition. Fans can purchase tickets by calling (916) 371-HITS (4487), logging on to ticketmaster.com, or visiting the Round Table Ticket Office at Raley Field. The River Cats open their home slate on Friday, April 13, at 7:05 p.m. against the Reno Aces.

To purchase 2012 Sacramento River Cats Season Tickets, Mini-Plans and group outings, call the River Cats Ticket Hotline at (916) 371-HITS (4487) or visit www.rivercats.com online. In their first 12 seasons, the River Cats have won two Triple-A championships, four Pacific Coast League championships and 10 Pacific South Division championships. No other major American sports team has won 10 division titles in that span.
