As all eyes are glued to the action on the screen during the Super Bowl, history will be made behind the scenes in the broadcast booth.
Brynna Rogers, a broadcast engineer for “Bump and Stacy” on Seattle Sports 710 AM, will be the first woman to engineer a play-by-play radio broadcast for the Super Bowl as the Seahawks take the field on Sunday.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Rogers said. “I have to stop every once in a while and kind of, like, look around and take it in and remind myself that this is really cool and that not many people get to do this.”
Rogers’ work behind the broadcast
Throughout some of the most defining moments in the Seahawks’ season, Rogers has been refining her craft by mixing audio levels and managing microphones to ensure each and every broadcast is fully polished from start to finish.
Rogers recapped a moment where she could be seen in the broadcast booth during Rashid Shaheed’s electric punt-return touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams.
“You can see my feet in the background, like shuffling around,” Rogers said. “I was like, oh, there’s my feet, like moving around in excitement.”
Rogers’ daily contributions are massive, oftentimes making quick decisions while under pressure.
“I mix their mics, I EQ them, I add dynamics, I put some compression and limiting on them,” she said.
While Super Bowl festivities can be quite chaotic for some, Rogers noted she looks forward to using this experience as a springboard for many other women behind her, who share similar aspirations of being in her shoes.
“It’s a really hard field to get into for women, and when you add the STEM aspect, it’s even harder,” Rogers said. “It feels like I got my foot in the door — and now I want to hold that door open for everyone behind me.”
