An Inspired Start in Radio
Anyone who has ever dreamed of accomplishing something and gone on to make it happen can relate to the story of Hyder’s start in sports radio. It began when Hyder saw the hit film “Field of Dreams,” about an Iowa farmer who envisions a baseball diamond on his farm, builds it, and brings a fantasy to life. The film inspired Hyder to begin pursuit of his dream career – sportscasting. He landed a job as a PA announcer at MacArthur Stadium in Syracuse, took a sportscasting course, and started as a sideline reporter for local high school football games. Since then, Hyder’s professional progression has been steady and productive, exposing him to almost every aspect of the business.
Diverse Experience
Although the beginning of his career started on high school sidelines, Hyder’s on-air experience has been extensive and several of his positions have been especially impressive. At NewsRadio 570 WSYR in Syracuse, Hyder workedas a sports director, sideline reporter,color analyst, and host of pre- and post-game shows for Syracuse University Football and Basketball. At SportsRadio 620 WHEN, Hyder delivered play-by-play for Syracuse Blue Jays games, and hosted The Steve Hyder Show, a nightly three-hour talk show featuring callers and guests. Now on Sporting News Radio, Hyder’s weekend show delivers the weekend’s sports action, and Hyder’s guy-next-door brand of sports talk.
