color commentators

Game broadcast analysts

Color commentators are broadcast analysts who supplement play-by-play announcers during sports events.

While the play-by-play announcer describes the action, the color commentator provides expert analysis, background stories, and insider perspective—adding "color" to the broadcast.

Most are former players or coaches: The color commentators broke down why the defense collapsed on that play.
