The Laurel has learned that sporstcaster Joe D’Ambrosio has given notice at NBC CT where he has worked as a weekend and fill-in anchor since 1990. Presumably this is related to the recent hiring of John Henry Smith III and Gabrielle Lucivero who will be leading NBC CT’s sports overage.
D’Ambrosio is also playing a reduced role at WTIC-AM since the cancellation of his two-man afternoon sports program once partner Andy Gresh left for a Providence station.
As we and others have observed, Joe D. is one of the most knowledgeable, versatile broadcasters in the market. He’s the “Voice of the Huskies,” calling UConn football/men’s basketball/men’s hockey games, but can also handle election night coverage.
More Joe, please: not less.
