BOB ADLHOCH

Entering his 11th season of producing Phoenix Suns broadcasts, Bob has been part of the sports production community in the Valley since 1990.  After graduating from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Arizona State University with a BA in broadcast journalism, he worked for 5 years as a freelance graphics operator and producer.   His clients, both local and national, included ABC, CBS, ESPN, MLB productions, Prime Sports, ASPN and the Phoenix Suns. 

In 1995, Bob joined the production staff at Cox Communications where he spent the next six years producing and directing live sporting events—from Phoenix Suns broadcasts to the High School Football Game of the Week—as well as studio programs.  He was part of the team behind the channel launch of Cox 9 (now Cox 7), developing the on-air presentation of the channel as well as its original programming.  Always looking for new ways to create value in programming, Bob was instrumental in the live Thursday night high school football broadcasts that have become a programming staple for Cox 7.

The Phoenix Suns created the position of Broadcast Producer in 2001 and hired Bob for the opening.  He is in his 6th season traveling the country with the team, producing and directing game broadcasts on FSN Arizona and MY45.  He has also produced or directed broadcasts for the Arizona Cardinals, Tucson Sidewinders, Phoenix Coyotes and Arizona Diamondbacks.

Bob is the president emeritus of the Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (The Emmy® Awards) and currently sits on their National Board of Trustees.  He is the recipient of 5 Emmy® Awards for producing, directing and graphic design.
