THE PETE ROZELLE RADIO-TELEVISON AWARD
For Longtime Exceptional Contributions To Radio and Television in Professional Football
2004 Winner – Van Miller
Van Miller, the longtime “voice of the Buffalo Bills,” is the 2004 winner of the Pete Rozelle Radio and Television Award. The award which is presented by the Pro Football Hall of Fame is for longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football. Miller will be honored Saturday, August 7 at the Enshrinees Dinner, during the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Weekend Celebration.
A veteran of 55 years of radio and television work, Miller has done it all. It is however, as the play-by-play voice of the Bills that he is best known. Although his broadcasting career began at WFCB in Dunkirk, New York, Van came to Buffalo in 1955 when the WBEN Radio and Television Network offered him a “three-month job as a summer replacement.” He took the job and stayed for 43 years.
