Jim Gray will anchor the pregame and halftime coverage for the 20th consecutive year, with appearances by Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. Scott Graham will also contribute to Westwood One’s pregame and postgame show coverage for his 12th straight Super Bowl.

Game-day coverage will begin at 2:00 PM ET, with “Super Bowl Preview”, co-hosted by Scott Graham, Tony Boselli, and Kurt Warner. “Super Bowl Insider” will follow at 3:00 PM ET, hosted by Scott Graham and featuring Hall of Fame running back and Super Bowl XXXII MVP Terrell Davis, Super Bowl XXXI-winning coach Mike Holmgren, and NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
