Best Answer

In the late 1930's and early 40's, the wife of Harry Johnson, sports announcer for Central Sates Broadcasting in Omaha, Nebraska, provided color commentary during his broadcasts. Although she cannot be proven to be the first woman sportscaster, she is definitely among the earliest.

Jane Chastain, Donna De Varona and Jeannie Morris are readily considered pioneers of womens' sportscasting by many. Chastain, who started her sportscasting career in the mid-60's, was the first woman to work for a large network(CBS), and thought to be the first woman to do play-by-play.
