Local sports coverage is important to you. No one covers the bases better than Tom Barton.
Sports, it’s in his blood. Other than his amazing wife and growing family, it’s all he thinks about. That passion carries over into local sports coverage for the South Shore Press.
While Tom is nationally known, his heart and home is right here on Long Island
You read that right, we here at the South Shore Press landed a world class sports analyst who has the longest running sports talk show in Las Vegas on Fox Sports Radio. He has also been the sole host of a nationally syndicated sports program as well working for ESPN New York.
After starting as an update man on a local Long Island station, eventually his drive and leadership attracted ABC Radio. Tom then began a ten year career with them as a writer, host, producer and sports analyst. After that, he wanted to expand his brand to television where he became the head writer for TV 55 WLNY as well as a sports host that he soon transformed into his own cable show.
After leaving WLNY Tom continued his media career writing for sports information sites, becoming a regular contributor on many of the country's top sports talk stations. He even hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers post game show for three seasons.
Since he admits he has quite a face for radio, Tom fits right in on the print pages of the South Shore Press and online at SouthShorePress.com
