Hampton Roads Media Legends Inducted
Description
Two hometown heroes, Stan Verrett and Ahmed Fareed, were inducted into the Hampton Roads Sports Media Hall of Fame — a moment that celebrated their rise from WAVY-TV 10 to ESPN, MLB Network, and NBC Sports. Verrett, who stayed in LA after ESPN’s move, now covers the Saints, Clippers, and the BIG3 while hosting a podcast with his former co-anchor, crediting his WAVY mentor Bruce Rader for launching his career. Fareed, who honed his craft in Hampton Roads before becoming a national fixture, now hosts “Football Night in America” and covers the Olympics and Derby. The ceremony also honored Joe Moore and Jack Ankerson, spotlighting the region’s legacy of shaping sports media — both on and off the field.
