Notes: Before 1974, the Daytona 500 was shown as a filmed (before
1972)
or videotaped highlight package the following week on "Wide
World of Sports." I have not nor will I include those
announcers
here.

In 1974, ABC began the first live coverage (joined-in-
progress)
of the 500. Coverage was normally timed to begin when the race
was halfway over.

In 1979, CBS instituted the "flag-to-flag" coverage policy.

On another forum, it is said that Walter Cronkite actually
called
the first Daytona 500 race in 1959 for CBS in a live telecast.
This is as of now an unconfirmed claim that bodes research.


Commentators listed are those who called the race, lap-by-lap,
and the analysts in the booth. Hosts, non-booth reporters and
pit reporters are not included.
