Editing Ted Husing (section)

===CBS===
At CBS, Husing took on a wide variety of events. In 1929, he was named studio director of WABC (the CBS flagship station) in addition to continuing his work as an announcer for the network.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ted Husing Appointed Director for WABC|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/8212568/the_brooklyn_daily_eagle/|work=The Brooklyn Daily Eagle|date=February 3, 1929|location=New York, Brooklyn|page=43|via = [[Newspapers.com]]|access-date = January 6, 2017}} {{Open access}}</ref>

He was the original voice of the ''[[The March of Time (radio program)|March of Time]]'' program and an announcer for shows such as [[George Burns]] and [[Gracie Allen]]. Above everything, his work on sports gave Husing the greatest prominence. He covered events as diverse as [[boxing]], [[horse racing]], [[track and field]], [[regatta]]s, seven [[World Series]], [[tennis]], [[golf]], four [[Olympic Games]], [[Indianapolis 500]] motor racing, and especially [[college football]].

In addition to his sports preeminence, Husing did news and special events coverage for the [[CBS Radio Network]]. In the 1930s, he gave early tutelage to a budding CBS Radio announcer, [[Mel Allen]], who, like Husing, would become a sportscaster. (And, like Husing, Allen would also understudy in news, with [[Robert Trout]].) In 1933–1934, he was host of the ''[[Oldsmobile Program]]'', providing sports news to complement music from other participants on the program.<ref name="sies">Sies, Luther F. (2014).

In both sports and special events areas, Husing developed a bitter rivalry with rising [[NBC]] announcer [[Bill Stern]]. When the two became the sports stars of their rival networks (and eventually their networks' sports directors), they would battle fiercely not only for events but also for broadcast position.

Husing could be arrogant, coarse, and opinionated. He was the first to bring a candid, editorial style to sports play-by-play. He was barred for two years by [[Harvard University]] from covering its home football games after he called All-American quarterback [[Barry Wood (football)|Barry Wood]]'s performance "putrid". After criticizing World Series umpires in 1934, Husing was banned from doing play-by-play of the Fall Classic by Commissioner [[Kenesaw Mountain Landis]].
