Al Michaels won for his work on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" as best play-by-play announcer while his in-booth colleague, John Madden, was tabbed top event analyst. CBS' James Brown drew the studio host nod, Cris Collinsworth the studio analyst prize for his work on the Peacock.
Other winners included Fox's Fiesta Bowl, live sports special; "NASCAR on Fox," live sports series; ESPN's "College Gameday," studio show (weekly); and TNT's "Inside the NBA," studio show (daily).
The lifetime achievement award was given to Frank Chirkinian, who spent his entire career at CBS and produced 38 consecutive Masters golf tournaments.
