News 13 is celebrating its 20th year on air with an all-new half-hour nightly sports segment called Spectrum Sports 360. The show will be hosted by Spectrum's Austin Lyon, Despina Barton, Zach Aldridge or Andy Wontor on any given night. A rotating panel of local sports media personalities will join each for a debate segment, called "Face Off." 407area Sports Columnist David Baumann will claim a seat as a "Face Off" commentator.
"I can't wait to be back at my old stomping grounds, says Baumann. This show should be fun, exciting and action-packed with great debate. And right now couldn't be a better time to be a sports fan in Central Florida!"
Baumann brought his sports knowledge to Orlando when he came aboard as the sports anchor for News 13 in 2004. Baumann has covered major sporting events such as Super Bowl XXXIX, NBA Finals, NCAA Tournament and Arnold Palmer Invitational. He's interviewed sports superstars including Dwight Howard, Danica Patrick, Tiger Woods, Lebron James, Michael Phelps, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. providing him with an arsenal of information to use when he has to "Face Off" against competing commentators every week on Spectrum Sports 360.
