Howard "Howie" Rose (born February 13, 1954) is an American sportscaster. He is currently a radio broadcaster for the New York Mets on WOR and formerly also called games for the New York Rangers and New York Islanders.
Rose was born in Brooklyn into a Jewish family. He attended PS 205Q (The Alexander Graham Bell School), Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Bayside, Queens and graduated from Queens College in 1977. He lives on Long Island in Woodbury, New York with his wife and two daughters. His oldest daughter Alyssa was an actress who has appeared on the soap opera One Life to Live. She currently has two podcastseparate, one called Scoring Position, and the other, Swipe Drunk Love, is featured through Barstool Sports.
Rose started his career doing sports updates on New York City based SportsPhone, a telephone dial-in service, during the mid-1970s, which led to sports updates on news radio station WCBS-AM through the early 1980s.
Rose has called Mets play-by-play on radio or television since 1995, and is regarded by fans and media outlets alike as an expert of Mets history. He has previously hosted the "Mets Extra" pre- and post-game shows. He worked the television booth until the retirement of long-time Mets radio voice Bob Murphy in 2003. The following year, Rose took Murphy's spot alongside Gary Cohen on WFAN. Cohen became the play-by-play broadcaster on new Mets television network SportsNet New York starting during the 2006 season, sharing the radio booth with partner Tom McCarthy. In 2008, Wayne Hagin replaced McCarthy, and since 2012, Rose has called games with Josh Lewin. Starting in 2014, he has called games on WOR. He has also co-hosted MLB Now, joining Brian Kenny, Mark DeRosa and Ken Rosenthal on MLB Network.
