Jim Irwin (sportscaster)

Jim Irwin (sportscaster)

Jim Irwin was a longtime sportscaster at WTMJ Radio in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is probably best known as the radio voice of the Green Bay Packers for many years. Irwin paired with former Packer Max McGee. Jim also broadcast Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Wisconsin Badgers football games. According to the WTMJ website [ [http://www.620wtmj.com WTMJ website] ] , Jim joined the Packers radio broadcasts as a color analyst in 1969 and assumed play by play duties in 1975, a position he held until his retirement after the 1998 season.

Prior to his longtime career as the voice of the Packers, Irwin did local TV sports out of Green Bay. Many viewers were of the opinion that Irwin closely resembled the current (at the time) legendary Packer quarterback, Bart Starr.
