Tom Scott
Email |  |
The Scott Slant with Tom Scott can be heard throughout the day each weekday on 1350 KTIK The Ticket.
Tom started his Boise broadcasting career in 1969, and his involvement in the Treasure Valley sports scene can be traced back to 1971, when he first did morning radio sports reports. He later became eminently familiar to local sports fans as public address announcer at Boise State football games from 1974-84 (and basketball games 1973-79).
Tom became a television sportscaster in 1978, with his credits including two seasons as host of 'Coach's Corner' with Boise State coach Jim Criner and play-by-play duties for live telecasts during the Broncos' national championship season in 1980.
He relinquished his stadium announcing duties when he joined Paul J. Schneider on KBOI's BSU radio broadcasts for the 1985 and 1986 seasons. Tom then went to KTVB, where he teamed with Mark Johnson and later, Larry Maneely on Bronco football telecasts. Scott and Johnson also paired on Channel 7's University of Idaho telecasts from 1996-98.
Tom is a veritable BSU football historian, having researched and written the first complete Bronco football record book in 1983 (he's still the keeper of the book). In addition to his duties for KTIK, he can be seen every Sunday night on KTVB's Sunday Sports Extra.
Tom has a BA in Communication from Boise State and now owns an advertising and communications company. He and his wife, Beth, live in Boise with their two sons, Mark and Ricky. |
