Today FC Dallas announced their local TV broadcast schedule and announcers for the upcoming season. Play by Play duties will be split by Dallas Mavericks TV announcer Mark Followill and former Houston Dynamo radio man Jonathan Yardley. Bringing on Followill, a voice that is highly recognizable for Dallas sports fans, is a huge coup for FC Dallas while Yardley brings a good amount of MLS experience to the booth.
The color commentary duties will be handled by a quartet of former MLS players in Brian Dunseth, Ian Joy, Dante Washington and Steve Jolley. Three of these guys, Dunseth, Joy and Jolley, I've heard on MLS broadcasts before and they all bring some good qualities to the booth.
