Mitch Otto isn’t someone you hear when Arizona State football plays a game. But without him, the radio broadcast of Tim Healey and Jeff Van Raaphorst wouldn’t be quite the same. For the last twenty-five years Otto has been the broadcast engineer, the man behind the scenes whenever ASU has played a football game. The guy who shows up to an empty stadium and leaves after the lights are turned off. From Bruce Snyder to Todd Graham. From Jake Plummer to Mike Bercovici. From Charles Harris to Ray Anderson. From the late Tom Dillon to Healey. Mitch Otto has been the cog to keep the Sun Devil broadcast on the radio. I know Mitch personally and you wont find a more loyal, hardworking, family man than him. He is going to leave his job at the end of this season. I asked him to come in studio to go over the last twenty-five years.

Media personality Brad Cesmat first rose to fame in Southern California with the launching of "The Mighty 690" all-sports radio station in the late 1980's and early 90's. Brad came to Arizona in 1993 to begin a 10-year run at KTAR Radio followed by nine years at KTVK-TV in Phoenix. Brad is the Founder/ CEO of Sports360AZ.com. His vision of multi platform content marketing through sports began in September of 2011. Cesmat has served on the Advisory Board for the Salvation Army for the last 18 years. He and his wife Chris have four children.
