Mike Lynch has been the principal sports anchor at WCVB-TV Channel 5 in Boston since September 1985. He reports Sunday through Thursday on NewsCenter 5 at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. He joined Channel 5 full-time in April 1983 as weekend sports anchor after working part-time for the station for one year. Since 1995, Lynch has hosted the weekly sports program “Patriots All Access,” a behind-the-scenes look at New England’s NFL franchise. During the NFL pre-season, Lynch serves as a broadcast commentator during Patriots games. He has also done play-by-play coverage for the Boston Celtics, New England Patriots and college football. For 11 years, he hosted the Boston College weekly football coach show “Eagles Preview”, on Channel 5. In 1985, Lynch initiated “High Five,” a weekly NewsCenter 5 report highlighting the achievements of high school student athletes. The unique segments have been lauded by critics and received numerous honors for a continuing commitment to covering high school athletics. From 1985 to 91 and again in 1998 and 1999, Lynch was voted Massachusetts “Sportscaster of the Year” by the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association. In 1987, SportsCenter 5 won the United Press International Award for “Best Sports Reporting” in the country. Prior to coming to WCVB, he was sports director for Boston’s WMRE Radio, formerly WITS, from 1977 to 1983. During this time, Lynch was responsible for the station’s Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins pre-game shows. In addition, he hosted a weeknight sports talk show and was the radio voice of Harvard University’s football broadcasts. Lynch’s broadcasting career began in 1974 at WLYN Radio in Lynn, where he served as a color commentator for high school football and basketball broadcasts. Lynch was brought up in the Boston suburb of Swampscott. He graduated from Harvard in 1977. While in college, he quarterbacked and kicked for the Harvard team that won the 1975 Ivy League Football Championship. He also played first base for the Crimson baseball team. Mike and Dan met last weekend in Indianapolis for the AFC Championship game and discussed their experiences with the local fans that truly support their Colts.
