Andy Rosenberg
Andrew "Andy" Rosenberg is a television director of live televised sports. He has worked on Major League Baseball on NBC, the World Series, football, basketball (including the NBA Finals), tennis on NBC including Wimbledon,[1] and the summer and winter Olympic Games.
He was born March 12, 1950, in Newton, Massachusetts and graduated from University of Pennsylvania in 1971 with a BA in history. Later he earned a Master's degree from Boston University College of Communication.
Rosenberg taught elementary school in Lincoln, MA for one year before pursuing a lifelong passion for sports. Rosenberg started with an unpaid internship at WBZ-TV in Boston, where he was then offered a staff position as assistant director in 1973. According to Jack Craig of The Boston Globe, Rosenberg would much "rather be a pro-athlete.".[2] Rosenberg was promoted to producer/director in 1975, directing news programs, live election coverage (1975–77), and a local woman's program (1977–79). He then moved to WBZ-TV's sports programming, where he directed Boston Celtics and New England Patriots games; the station won an Emmy Award for Best Station Sports Coverage during his time there.[3]
In July 1979 Rosenberg joined NBC Sports as a production associate; he was eventually promoted to a director position. While at NBC, Rosenberg directed Olympic Track and Field, Olympic Alpine Skiing, the World Series, and the NBA on NBC. In 2002, Rosenberg was let go as part of a massive layoff of staff at NBC Sports, though he continued working for NBC and others as a free-lance director.
Rosenberg directed a 3D version of the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, which aired in a Las Vegas hotel theater.[4]
