Milwaukee Bucks Name Lisa Byington New TV Announcer
The Milwaukee Bucks are making history again but this time it's off the court and in the TV broadcast booth.
The Bucks have chose Lisa Byington as their lead announcer for TV broadcasts. She will become the first woman play-by-play announcer for a major men's professional team.
