Education and early career

Karsch graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in communications. He got his start in broadcasting at TV station WEYI in Flint as a sports reporter. He made his radio debut in 1994 on WTKA in Ann Arbor. He has hosted pre-game/halftime/post-game coverage of Wolverine basketball. Nationally he has been heard on ESPN College Football Tailgate on ESPN Radio. He has also covered NASCAR and CART races.[1]

Current roles

Radio

He is the co-host of Karsch & Anderson (formerly the Big Show), a radio talk show heard weekdays on WXYT-FM "97.1 The Ticket" in Detroit, Michigan. Doug also hosts The Brady Hoke Radio Show, a weekly syndicated Michigan Wolverines football discussion program, along with Jim Brandstatter, and varying assistant coaches and players which airs live on Thursdays during the college football season.[2]

He is also the sideline reporter during Michigan football games.[2]

In April 2014 Karsch was said to be among the finalists for the University of Michigan Football play by play radio position. The position was, in the end, awarded to Dan Dierdorf, who played football for Michigan and in the NFL, as well as having done color commentary for NFL games on CBS.

Television

Karsch also hosts a weekly newsmagazine show for the Michigan Wolverines called Michigan Sports Weekly on the University's Michigan Channel, as well as Fox Sports Detroit and Big Ten Network[2][3]

He also appears as a reporter on Inside Michigan Football, seen on the same channels.
