Spectrum SportsNet Broadcast Team

Bill Macdonald has been the Lakers play-by-play announcer for Spectrum SportsNet since 2012. He's actually been calling Lakers games since 1985 when their games aired locally on Fox Sports West and Prime Ticket. Notably Macdonald called the game where Kobe Bryant scored 81 points, back in January 22 of 2006. Macdonald has won multiple local Emmys for his broadcasting skills over the years. And his resume extends to other Lakers roles - like hosting 'Lakers Live' for years in the past and routinely calling games on the radio.

Stu Lantz joins Bill in the booth as the color commentator for every single Lakers game on Spectrum SportsNet. Stu's been a part of the NBA scene for over 40 years. He's been a broadcaster for over three decades and specifically a color commentator since 2004. His skills earned him many local Emmys as well. But before Lantz took to broadcasting he was in the NBA. He played for San Diego and Detroit from 1970-74 and ended his pro career as a Laker, having played two seasons in LA. He retired due to back issues. Notably his alma matter Nebraska retired his number in 1989 during a Lakers' preseason game.

Mike Trudell has been the Lakers sideline reporter on this local broadcast since 2012. Beyond that Trudell has been the team's beat reporter for their website since 2008 and has done sideline calls for Lakers local radio in the past. Mike is also a frequent analyst and fill-in host on Spectrum SportsNet shows.
