As a sports broadcaster, Kevin Harlan has a whopping $1 million net worth
CelebrityNetWorth.com says an American sportscaster for radio and TV has earned $1 million over the course of his 30-year career in the sports industry.
In 1982, he began his career in radio and TV broadcasting as the voice of the NBA team Kansas City Kings.
Until 2008, Harlan was the voice of Westwood One Radio’s coverage of the Final Four. After calling Super Bowl XLV, he became the lead commentator for Westwood One’s Monday Night Football in 2010.
He has covered Super Bowls XLV through XLVI for Westwood One in a streak of 12 broadcasts, the longest in the history of the TV and radio networks.
Harlan also presented the HD stream of the Super Bowl XXXV game from CBS in 2001. Since 2003, he has also called preseason games for his hometown team, the Packers, on the team’s statewide TV network.
In 2017 and 2019, his colleagues gave him the National Sportscaster of the Year award. Harlan appeared in both the Final Four and the Super Bowl 13 times.
He is one of only three sportscasters, along with Dick Stockton and Marv Albert, to be on more than 3,000 national network broadcasts during their careers.
Harlan makes $400,000 a year as a sportscaster
Clutchpoint says Harlan makes $400,000 a year as a sportscaster.
Everyone knows Kevin Harlan as the voice of Monday Night Football and for his analysis of the Super Bowl. Harlan is the play-by-play announcer for the NFL and NCAA Men’s Basketball tournaments on CBS Sports today.
He may also make a good living as a broadcaster for Tuner Sports, where Charles Barkley, another NBA expert, is said to be earning around $1.5 million per year.
Even though Kevin may not earn as much as Barkley, his salary and other earnings may be close to a million dollars.
Barkley, on the other hand, has a long list of impressive accomplishments that show just how hard he works on and off the court. He used to play professional basketball and won awards. Now, he is a well-known NBA analyst.
Harlan’s first radio job was at his high school radio station
Harlan began calling Our Lady of Premontre High School boys’ basketball, football, and ice hockey games when he was in high school. He did it on WGBP-FM, the school’s radio network. He was recently given a place in the school’s Hall of Fame.
Harlan worked as a ball boy for the Green Bay Packers when he was a teenager. His father, Bob Harlan, was an executive for the team.
Kevin plans to earn a degree in communications or mass media from either the University of Notre Dame or the University of Wisconsin-Madison. However, broadcaster Gary Bender asked Kevin’s father, Bob, to enroll Kevin in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Kansas.
When the Jayhawks’ primary basketball play-by-play announcer, Tom Hedrick, met Harlan, he could tell right away that the young man loved sports broadcasting and had a lot of potential.
In Harlan’s first year, Hedrick gave him work on the sidelines and then promoted him to be his assistant and fill-in announcer when he had other things to do. Likewise, Harlan earned a degree in broadcast journalism in 1982.
The radio sports announcer became the voice of the NBA’s Kansas City Kings
Harlan joined the radio and TV team for the Kansas City Kings (now the Sacramento Kings) in 1982, when he was 22 years old and fresh out of college.
After calling basketball games for his alma mater, the University of Kansas, for a year, he spent several years as an undergraduate hosting and producing programs for before and after games. After that, he called games for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs from 1985 to 1993.
Harlan also called University of Missouri basketball and football games from 1986 to 1989 and was the play-by-play announcer for the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves for nine years (1989–98).
Harlan called NFL football games on NBC in 1991, college football games on ESPN from 1992 to 1993, and NFL games on Fox from 1994 to 1997.
His broadcast studio in his basement in 2020
Kevin Harlan spent a lot of time in his renovated basement in 2020, when COVID was spreading like wildfire.
The Turner Sports announcer used to be courtside in places like the American Airlines Arena in Miami or the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Today, Harlan announces NBA games from the basement of his century-old home in Mission Hills, Kansas. It is 15 feet by 8 feet.
The Athletic said there was an eight-foot “NBA on TNT” banner behind Harlan when he was calling games.
Then there are two 32-inch monitors on a rectangular folding table in front of Harlan, who sits on a Pottery Barn chair his wife Ann bought for a basement table.
During the games, a laptop computer was set up in front of Harlan so he could see the official score of his match right from the arena.
A Sportscaster’s 100-Year-Old Home in Mission Hills
The Athletic said Harlan already had a home office set up for his work on the NBA 2K video game series when the COVID outbreak occurred.
He arranged his recording equipment, which included laptops and game consoles, behind a large closet off the master bedroom. From there, he could see the game’s two other announcers, Doris Burke and Clark Kellogg, as he recorded.
But the Harlans realized that Turner’s plans would require more space than just a closet.
Also, two people from CNN’s multimedia field engineering team came from Atlanta and worked hard for four days to set up Harlan’s home studio. Harlan said he had two field engineers with him in his basement when he called his first preseason game.
The 62-year-old replaces Marv Albert at Turner Sports
The Sports Business Journal reports that Kevin Harlan has replaced Marv Albert as the play-by-play announcer for Turner Sports’ broadcast of the NBA Western Conference Finals.
In 1996, he began working for Turner Sports to talk about NBA playoff games. In 1997, he began calling games for the entire season, and he still does so today.
Harlan has “created scenes for spectators and listeners on sports’ biggest stages.” He called 13 Super Bowl radio games and five Final Four games.
Also, Harlan was “thrilled” to get Stan Van Gundy, even though he and Reggie Miller worked well and got along.
The sports industry is where the Harlans make money and build their careers
Kevin’s family is all about sports as his father was the sports information director at Marquette University for many years. On the other hand, Olivia, his daughter, works as a sideline reporter, and Sam Dekker, who is married to Olivia, plays basketball.
Samuel Thomas Dekker, who is married to her, plays professional basketball for the London Lions of the British Basketball League (BBL) and the EuroCup.
He also covered SEC and ACC football games for FOX Sports South and Raycom and reported from the sidelines on preseason games for the Packers TV Network. Olivia also co-hosts a daily web show about the Green Bay Packers training camp.
Olivia Harlan and her father, Kevin, are the first father-son duo to call an NFL game together. Olivia is a sideline reporter, and Kevin is the announcer.
His father runs the Green Bay Packers as their CEO
Robert E. Harlan is the team’s former chairman of the board and CEO. The Green Bay Packers are an American professional football team.
In 1971, Harlan began working as an assistant general manager for the Green Bay Packers.
Over the next 18 years, he was given three promotions: first, to general manager of the company in 1975, then to assistant to the president in 1981, and finally to executive vice president of administration in 1988.
During his time as president, he made “some of the biggest changes in franchise history.” This makes him one of the “most powerful and successful presidents in franchise history.”
The Madeline and Robert Harlan Humanitarian Fund was started by Madeline and Robert Harlan.
The Journal Sentinel says Bob and Madeline Harlan have lived in Green Bay since the early 1960s and are very involved in the community.
The Harlans established the Madeline and Robert Harlan Humanitarian Fund to help people with cancer who do not have insurance. The idea for this fund came from the fact that Harlan was diagnosed with melanoma in 2003 and was subsequently treated for it.
In addition, they worked hard to raise money for emergency rooms and cancer treatment centers at St. Mary and St. Vincent, where they served on several boards and committees. A square was built in St. Mary’s to honor Madeline Harlan.
She also studied to be a nurse, and during her clinical rotations at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, she worked with sisters who cared for patients as she did.
