TV analyst
On-air expert voice
A TV analyst is a person who provides expert commentary and interpretation during television broadcasts, typically for sports or news.
Sports analysts break down plays, explain strategy, and offer insights between action: The TV analyst predicted the coach would go for it on fourth down.
News analysts contextualize political developments and current events.
Distinguished from play-by-play announcers or anchors, analysts bring specialized knowledge rather than narrating events as they happen.
