Radio Interview: Baltimore sportscaster reflects on his career and Catholic faith

Mark Viviano has covered everything from the Orioles and Ravens to high school sports – breaking the story of the move of the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore in the 1990s.

Recently, the five-time winner of Maryland Sportscaster of the Year made the decision to step away from the camera to focus on family, community service and his Catholic faith. He officially retired as sports director of WJZ last month after 22 years at the station.

The parishioner of St. John the Evangelist in Severna Park, who has served as a Catholic Review columnist and blogger since October, spoke with George Matysek about his career and his decision to leave it behind.
