Don La Greca has been with ESPN New York radio from its start and was actually the first voice listeners heard when the station launched on September 3, 2001.

Today, Don is co-host of ESPN New York's "The Michael Kay Show," weekdays from 3 - 6 p.m. He has been part of the Kay show since 2002, as the primary fill-in host for Michael and as New York SportsCenter anchor. Don hosts ESPN New York's official "Jets Gameday" pre-game show, the Jets' post-game show, and "The 5th Quarter," all with former Jet Greg Buttle.

After many seasons of hosting the official Rangers' pre- and post-game shows on ESPN New York radio, La Greca was added to the Rangers' radio broadcast team for the 2008-2009 season as the fill-in play-by-play announcer for lead announcer Kenny Albert. He also hosts 1050's weekly "New York Hockey This Week." His passion for hockey and expertise on the sport also makes him the ideal host of "NHL Live" on the NHL Network.

Don has been around the sports radio industry for years. He started at Sports Phone, where he updated scores and covered all nine local pro teams. He then worked as a Sports anchor at 1010 WINS. Don was also a talk show host at eYada.com.

Don eats and sleeps sports. Speaking of eating, Don's favorite foods are steak and Buffalo Wings. In terms of sleeping he tries to get as much as he can when he is not working or watching games. Don is an avid television watcher, with Entourage, How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men as his current favorites. Don is also a cigar aficionado. He currently resides in Somerset, NJ with his wife, Nancy.
