John Morgan (broadcaster)

John F. Morgan (born December 10, 1950) is an American broadcaster and television producer from Saranac Lake, New York.

Before becoming involved in broadcasting, Morgan played rugby union and was a bobsled racer. A member of a prominent bobsled racing family, Morgan's father and brothers were all involved in the sport, and his brother, 1976 Olympian James "Nitro" Morgan, died in a bobsled accident in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.

Morgan was on the U.S. National team from 1978-1979, but did not qualify for the 1980 Winter Olympics. After he failed to qualify, he landed a job with ABC Sports.

Morgan has been the American network's bobsled commentator at the last eight Winter Olympic Games, starting with ABC in 1984 and 1988, then with CBS in 1992, 1994 and 1998, and with NBC in 2002, 2006 and 2010. His broadcasting career began with ABC at the 1981 FIBT World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, where he called the race that took his brother's life.

From 2002 to 2007, he was a broadcaster for bobsled and skeleton World Cup races on Speed Channel, working with Tim Singer. For 2007-08, the World Cup competitions could be seen online at NBC Sports' website and live on Canadian television.
