KTNV-TV, Channel 13's veteran sportscaster is a fixture of both Southern Nevada broadcasting and the Best of Las Vegas contest. While critics argue that Futrell sometimes shows homerish tendencies, he's gained a reputation as a solid, thorough reporter who can make sports understandable even to viewers who wouldn't know a zone defense from "The Twilight Zone." Dave McCann of KLAS-TV, Channel 8, last year's first-place pick, ranked second this year.
Our Pick:
DAVE McCANN
KLAS-TV, Channel 8's Dave McCann has a smooth style. He's informative, enthusiastic and businesslike, all without being wooden and while displaying an obvious understanding of the games. McCann also may be one of the most versatile sports guys around here, having done play-by-play for Rebel football and serving as host of both Bill Bayno's and Jeff Horton's weekly shows.
