PHIL CHENIER
Television Analyst
Comcast SportsNet

The 2008-09 NBA campaign marks Phil Chenier’s 24rd consecutive season providing television color commentary for the Washington Wizards organization on Comcast SportsNet. Seated alongside play-by-play man Steve Buckhantz, Chenier has been further ingrained in the consciousness of Washington area sports fans after he starred for the Bullets for nine seasons during his playing days in the NBA.

An All-Star performer for the Bullets in 1974, 1975 and 1977, Chenier still holds the franchise record for most points in a non-overtime game (53), and he ranks among the all-time franchise leaders in field goals made (4th), points (6th), minutes played (6th) and games played (8th). He averaged at least 20 points per game for five consecutive seasons (1972-77) and was named to the All-NBA second team in 1974-75, when he finished eighth in MVP voting. After 10 professional seasons, Chenier retired in 1981 with 9,931 career points and a 17.2 ppg scoring average.

In the NBA off-season, Chenier shares his basketball expertise at his youth basketball camp, which is co-directed by David DuPree, a sports columnist for USA Today. Chenier lives in Columbia, MD, and has three children: April, Phillip and Adelle.

DAVE JOHNSON
Radio Play-By-Play Announcer
Sportstalk 980

The 2008-09 season marks Dave Johnson’s 12th consecutive campaign as the voice of the Wizards on the Wizards Radio Network (WTEM-980). Johnson’s ties to the Washington DC sports community are strengthened by his efforts as the sports director and award-winning morning sports anchor for WTOP radio (AM 1500, FM 103.5), for whom he has logged a decade of service.

Johnson’s ubiquitous presence in the sports community is also due in part to his role as the television play-by-play voice of Major League Soccer’s DC United on Comcast SportsNet, and to an extensive history with televised soccer that includes appearances on ESPN and FOX, among others.

Among Johnson’s other career highlights is an Emmy Award for his work as the host of the NHL’s Washington Capitals “Face Off” television show, countless anchored telecasts both on Comcast and WTTG-TV 5, an extensive play-by-play resume of college football, college basketball and lacrosse, and the recent addition of NBA Playoff experience as the voice of the Wizards in 2005.

A graduate of Towson University, Dave and his wife, Diane, live in Annapolis, MD with their son, Pierce.
