Ted Robinson has been a Bay Area sportscaster for 4 decades. His career has spanned from serving as Sports Director at KCBS Radio in San Francisco, to a play-by-play announcer for the San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, Golden State Warriors and San Francisco 49ers. He has worked for some of sports’ most famous owners including Charlie Finley, Franklin Mieuli, Peter Magowan and the York Family.

Ted’s California history began in 1980, when he was the last employee hired by Charlie Finley in his ownership of the Oakland A’s. Robinson cold-called Finley in February, persevered through Opening Day and was in Chicago on an April afternoon when Finley unexpectedly summoned Ted to a meeting in Charlie’s office. Six hours later, Ted had a job, a 22-year-old minor-league hockey announcer headed to the big leagues.

Several years later, Franklin Mieuli supported Ted to replace the legendary Bill King as Voice of the Golden State Warriors. It was the stretch run of Mieuli’s ownership but the job propelled Ted into opportunities in baseball.

For 25 years, Ted broadcast games for the A’s, Giants, Minnesota Twins and New York Mets. He also spent 4 years on the NBC Game of the Week telecast roster and 10 years with CBS Radio Game of the Week.

Tennis became a part of Ted’s resume at the 1987 US Open. For 22 years, he was the primetime host for USA Network’s coverage, alongside John McEnroe and Tracy Austin. His tennis work continues to present day with Tennis Channel, where he has broadcast year-round tennis for the last 14 years.

In 2000, NBC brought Ted on board to follow Dick Enberg as tennis host for Wimbledon and the French Open. At the same time, NBC started Ted on an Olympic path that has seen him call the last 13 Olympic Games, starting with Team USA’s baseball Gold Medal in the Sydney 2000 Games.

Ted spent 10 years as the Voice of the San Francisco 49ers, including the radio call of Super Bowl XLVII.

Since its inception in 2012, Ted has been the lead play-by-play voice for football and men’s basketball on the Pac-12 Network.

Ted presently serves on the board of EPATT, East Palo Alto Tennis and Tutoring, a program which provides academic and athletic support to equip students and families to achieve college and career readiness. He has served on the board of Caminar, a non-profit agency providing support services to individuals with mental health disorders, and works closely with LifeMoves, which gives temporary housing for Bay Area neighbors experiencing homelessness while also providing customized case management through shelter programs and community outreach.
