New look for FOX TV in 2016
New look for FOX TV in 2016
FOX Sports telecasts of IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship events will feature an exciting new look in 2016 through a number of enhancements.
The IMSA broadcast team in 2016 will include Greg Creamer handling play-by-play alongside analyst Calvin Fish, with Brian Till and Justin Bell (pictured right) calling the action from pit road.
Additions for 2016 include the use of aerial cameras for a majority of events and special feature segments led by Bell that will highlight the personalities, technology, event experience and lifestyle of IMSA racing.
Creamer becomes the television play-by-play voice after spending the 2015 season as part of the IMSA Radio team. One of the most respected voices in road racing, Creamer previously has hosted and provided play-by-play coverage of the American Le Mans Series across four different television networks, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Fish joins Creamer in the booth – continuing his 20 year broadcasting stint which followed a successful driving career in which he won a Formula Atlantic championship in addition to class victories in both the Rolex 24 At Daytona and Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida.
Like Fish, Till also transitioned from a successful driving career. He won the Formula Atlantic title in 1990 before moving into IndyCar racing. He made more than 20 IndyCar starts from 1992-94, highlighted by a 12th place result in the 1994 Indianapolis 500.
1998 24 Hours of Le Mans GT2 winner and 1997 FIA GT2 world champion Justin Bell also will play a leading role in broadcast features during IMSA telecasts in 2016.
The core production will be done at-track and will be supplemented by a studio production in Charlotte, N.C., from which Creamer and Fish will call the action beginning with the Twelve Hours of Sebring in March. The at-track production will continue to include both an international “world feed,” as well as a specific FOX Sports production.
