(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrated radio personality and bestselling author Cayman Kelly happily announced he had renewed his contract as the official voice of ESPN's Monday Night football for the third year in a row. Already recording in the studios for the 2022-23 NFL season, Kelly originally contracted with ESPN Radio back in 2020, making history as the first African American radio artist serving as the major imaging voice for the globally recognized brand. Kelly later went on to serve the NHL in the same capacity. He has continued to work tirelessly as a Black media icon, an inspiration to generations of listeners and new artists who can hear his voiceovers in television, video games, popular radio shows, album promos, animations, and a host of other projects and collaborations. 

'Sometimes I wonder if time is flying or if I'm just dreaming, because I can't believe it has been three years since I started this work,' said Kelly. 'I always tell folks that I am blessed because it is true. And I think it's important to be grateful for the good things in your life. Working for MNF has definitely been a good thing in my life. And hopefully there will be many more years to follow.'

For over 50 years, MNF has been a hallowed and beloved American sports tradition since it first aired in 1970 with The New York Jets beating the Cleveland Browns to win the American Football League's inaugural Super Bowl. With legendary voices like Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, and Keith Jackson paving the way, NFL commentators and voiceover artists have gone through many evolutions. But MNF has always remained a cultural staple in the U.S., reinventing how Primetime sports is delivered to audiences worldwide.

This year, week 2 of the official MNF schedule takes place September 19. Listen to Cayman Kelly on ESPN Radio for the full season, including:

• Week Two: 9/19/22 – Vikings vs Eagles
• Week Three: 9/26/22 – Cowboys vs Giants
