Tony Caridi (born September 8, 1962) is a children's book author and an American sportscaster for West Virginia University's Mountaineer Sports Network and West Virginia Radio Corporation's Metronews Radio Network.
Caridi grew up in Lockport, New York. Listening to the NBA's Buffalo Braves, the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, and the NFL's Buffalo Bills planted the seeds of his desire to become a play-by-play announcer.
Caridi is a 1980 graduate of Lockport Senior High School in Lockport, New York. He attended the State University of New York at Geneseo, as a freshman and sophomore, studying communications. An internship with Clip Smith at ABC affiliate WKBW-TV Buffalo made Caridi realize he needed more of a challenge. He transferred to Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications. Upon graduating from Syracuse, Caridi worked for WHEN Radio in Syracuse doing overnight news.
At Syracuse, Caridi was a classmate of prominent national sportscasters - Sean McDonough of ESPN and Monday Night Football; Dan Hoard, Voice of the Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Bearcats; Greg Papa, Voice of the Oakland Raiders; Bill Roth, former Voice of the Virginia Tech Hokies and former Voice of the UCLA Bruins; Jim Jackson, Voice of the Philadelphia Flyers; Rich Cimini, New York Jets reporter for ESPN.com; and Craig Minervini of the WWE.
