(March 25, 2010) Shreveport native and veteran broadcaster Tony Taglavore, who has more than 20 years of radio and television sportscasting experience, will be the radio play-by-play voice for Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings’ home games, team owner Dan Newman announced today.

The Battle Wings compete in the 15-team Arena Football League. All 16 of the Wings’ regular-season games will be carried on KLKL-FM (95.7). Battle Wings’ owner Dan Newman, also a veteran broadcaster, will call the action on the road.

“I am honored and excited to have this opportunity,” Taglavore said. “The Battle Wings have proven to be successful on the field, and a first-class organization off the field. This is a tremendous opportunity to call action in the country’s premier arena league.”

In addition to his work with the Battle Wings, Taglavore is a play-by-play/color analyst for the Northwestern State University Demon Sports Network. Taglavore also hosts an LSU football show, provides the play-by-play for Captain Shreve High School, and hosts Wonderful Day Ark-La-Tex, a magazine-style television show.

Taglavore is a fixture in the Shreveport-Bossier market. For 18 years, he was a anchor/reporter for CBS affiliate KSLA-TV.

The Battle Wings begin the 2010 season April 3 against the Alabama Vipers at the CenturyTel Center.
