“Voice of the Predators” Pete Weber recently completed his 15th season as the Nashville Predator's primary play-by-play announcer in 2011-12. His insight into the team and the game of hockey is a regular feature in local sports talk radio and television, and he also consistently contributes to the Predators’ website and team publications.
Pete has served as a “Western Conference Insider” on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio's "NHL Home Ice" service (XM 204) and has co-hosted “Slapshot Radio”. In addition to his duties with the team, Weber co-hosted SportsNight (a popular local sportstalk radio program) from July 2003 until August 2005 and has filled in as a program host for ESPN Radio. Since 2005, Pete has joined in on the Triple-A baseball Nashville Sounds' broadcasts and also produced and hosted weekly podcasts: "This Week in the Minor Leagues" and the syndicated “Southern Pro Football.”
Weber spent two seasons (1995-97) as the radio play-by-play announcer for the Buffalo Sabres, three seasons (1978-81) as the color analyst for the Los Angeles Kings and also served as host of "Hockey Night with the Buffalo Sabres" from 1990-93. Along with his 22 seasons of NHL experience, Weber has served as a play-by-play voice in baseball (Buffalo Bisons, 1983-95), basketball (Seattle SuperSonics, 1981-82) and football (University of Buffalo, 1992). He has called the hockey action for the University of Notre Dame (1974-76) and the University at Buffalo (1976-78) and was part of the Buffalo Bills' broadcast team during their four Super Bowl seasons (1990-93).
Weber was inducted into the Buffalo Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. He was part of a winning Predators’ broadcast effort in winning a regional Emmy in 2003, and won another as co-host of the 2008 Mid-South Regional telecast.
