Kevin Harlan’s Net Worth of a Whopping $1 Million as a Sports Announcer

An American sports announcer for television and radio has a net worth of $1 million from his career spanning decades in the sports industry, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

He began his broadcasting career in 1982 as a television and radio announcer for the Kansas City Kings.

By 2008, Harlan was the voice of Westwood One Radio’s Final Four coverage. He started as Westwood One’s senior analyst for Monday Night Football in 2010 after making a call at Super Bowl XLV.

The longest stretch in TV and radio network history, spanning 12 consecutive shows, he covered Super Bowls XLV-LVI for Westwood One.

In addition, Harlan broadcast Super Bowl XXXV HD live from CBS in 2001. Since 2003, he has also called the Packers’ preseason home games on the team’s national television network.

In 2017 and 2019, he received the National Sportscaster of the Year Award from his peers. Harlan has broadcast 13 Super Bowls and five Final Fours.

He is one of only three sportscasters, along with Dick Stockton and Marv Albert, to have appeared on more than 3,000 national network programs in a career.

Sportscaster Harlan’s annual salary is $400,000

Clutchpoint claims Harlan makes $400,000 a year as a sports reporter.

Everyone knows Kevin Harlan as the on-air personality of Monday Night Football and for his Super Bowl analysis. Harlan is currently the play-by-play announcer for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and NFL games on CBS Sports.

Another NBA analyst, Charles Barkley, reportedly makes around $1.5 million a year broadcasting for Tuner Sports, where he may have made a decent living.

Kevin’s salary and earnings can be close to a million dollars, although he may not have made as much money as Barkley.

In contrast, Barkley’s career is a collection of astounding achievements and a living memorial to his dedication to hard effort on and off the pitch. He went from being an acclaimed NBA player to a respected NBA analyst.

Harlan began his early broadcasting career at the High School radio station

At Our Lady of Premontre High School, where he graduated from, Harlan began calling play-by-play for the school’s boys’ basketball, football, and ice hockey teams on WGBP-FM. He was recently inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame.

When Harlan was a teenager, his father, Bob Harlan, who was a front office executive, hired him as a ball boy for the Green Bay Packers.

Kevin had planned to study communications or mass media at either the University of Notre Dame or the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but television host Gary Bender personally persuaded his father, Bob, to enroll at the University of Kansas and its School of Journalism and Mass Communications .

Harlan’s passion for broadcasting sports was immediately apparent to Tom Hedrick, the Jayhawks’ main basketball play-by-play announcer, and he saw potential in the young man.

During Harlan’s freshman year, Hedrick assigned him a side job before promoting him to his assistant and backup speaker position on days when Hedrick had other commitments. Harlan also received a degree in broadcast journalism in 1982.

The radio sports announcer became the voice of the NBA’s Kansas City Kings

In 1982, shortly after graduating from college, Harlan, then 22 years old, joined the television and radio team for the Kansas City Kings (now the Sacramento Kings).

He called basketball games for his alma university, the University of Kansas, for a year before spending several years as an undergraduate hosting and producing pre- and post-game programs. He then announced games for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs from 1985 to 1993.

Additionally, from 1986–1989, Harlan divided his time between calling basketball and football games at the University of Missouri and nine seasons as the NBA play-by-play announcer for the Minnesota Timberwolves (1989–98).

Harlan named NFL Football for NBC in 1991, College Football for ESPN in 1992–1993, and NFL Football for Fox in 1994–1997.

His basement broadcast studio in 2020

Kevin Harlan spent a lot of time in his furnished basement in 2020 during the COVID pandemic.

Harlan broadcast NBA games from the basement of his century-old home in Mission Hills, Kansas, instead of playing at venues like the American Airlines Arena in Miami or the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where the Turner Sports commentator used to be. The studio measures 15 by 8.

The Athletic claims that when Harlan called games, there was an eight-foot-tall “NBA on TNT” banner hanging behind him.

Then in front of Harlan, who was seated in a Pottery Barn chair that his wife Ann had previously bought for a table in the basement, were two 32-inch monitors on a rectangular folding table.

Harlan connected directly from the arena to his game’s official real-time score while the games were being played using a laptop positioned in front of him.

The sportscaster’s century-old home in Mission Hills

Harlan had already set up a home office to work on the NBA 2K video game series during the COVID pandemic, according to The Athletic.

He arranges his recording equipment – consisting of laptops and game consoles – in the back of a sizable closet that’s outside of the master bedroom. As he records, he can see Doris Burke and Clark Kellogg, two other game voice actors.

However, the Harlans realized they would need a lot more space than a closet to fulfill Turner’s dreams.

It also took two members of CNN’s multimedia field team four grueling days to set up Harlan’s home studio when they arrived from Atlanta. Harlan claimed to have two field service technicians in his basement when he called the first preseason game.

The 62-year-old was Turner Sports’ replacement for Marv Albert

According to Sports Business Journal, Kevin Harlan replaced Marv Albert as play-by-play announcer for the NBA Western Conference Finals at Turner Sports.

In 1996, he signed with Turner Sports to broadcast NBA playoff games. He began naming full-season games in 1997 and continues to do so now.

With five Final Four broadcasts and 13 Super Bowl radio calls to his name, Harlan has “verbalized scenes for viewers and listeners on the sport’s greatest stages.”

Despite having an “excellent relationship and connection” with Reggie Miller, Harlan was “thrilled about taking on” Stan Van Gundy.

The Harlan family’s income and career revolves around the sports industry

Kevin’s father was the sports information director at Marquette University for several years, so the sports world is very important in his family. In contrast, his daughter Olivia’s husband, Sam Dekker, is a basketball player and she works part-time as a reporter.

She has a husband who plays basketball professionally with the London Lions of the British Basketball League (BBL) and the EuroCup. His name is Samuel Thomas Dekker.

She has also covered SEC and ACC football for FOX Sports South and Raycom, as well as supporting coverage for preseason games for the Packers TV Network. A daily web series about Green Bay Packers training camp was also co-hosted by Olivia.

With Olivia as a part-time reporter and her father Kevin running the game, the Harlans made history as the first father-daughter combo in the NFL.

His father is the executive director of the Green Bay Packers

Robert E. Harlan is the past chairman and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, an American football team.

Harlan began working for the Green Bay Packers in 1971 as an assistant general manager.

Over the next 18 years, he was promoted three times: to corporate general manager in 1975, to assistant to the president in 1981, and to executive vice president of administration in 1988.

His tenure marked “some of the most important changes in franchise history,” making him one of the “most influential — and successful — presidents in franchise history.”

The Harlans established the Madeline and Robert Harlan Humanitarian Fund

The Journal Sentinel reports that Bob Harlan and his wife, Madeline, have lived in Green Bay since the early 1960s and are very active in the community.

The Harlans established the Madeline and Robert Harlan Humanitarian Fund to help cancer patients without insurance. The reason for establishing this foundation was the diagnosis and treatment of Harlan melanoma in 2003.

While serving on various boards and committees for both organizations, they also took an active part in fundraising for the cancer treatment centers and emergency rooms at St. Mary’s and St. Vincent’s Hospitals. At St. Mary’s, Madeline Harlan was given a seat in her honor.

She also attended nursing school and worked with sisters who shared her commitment to patient care during their clinical rotations at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa.
