Phoenix Rising FC has partnered with Bitfire to bring the production of all its home matches in-house. Bitfire’s state of the art technology will allow Rising to transmit the full broadcast directly to the club’s video board in real time, providing fans in-venue with the same high-quality replays available via Arizona’s Family television broadcast. Calling the matches in-stadium will be Joe Lowery and Killian McClatchey.
Joe Lowery
Lowery is a Phoenix native that has covered Rising and serves as an American soccer analyst for ESPN, The Athletic and The Guardian. He’s the founder of Backheeled.com, the home for premier independent coverage of soccer in the United States. Lowery served as a color commentator for Rising Radio, the club’s in-house audio broadcast produced by students from ASU, last season.
Killian McClatchey
McClatchey has spent the past six years as the voice of Charleston Southern University. He has featured on numerous NCAA programs on the ESPN family of networks during that time and served as the play-by-play talent for several Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches and the NAIA National Championship. McClatchey is a 2019 graduate of the Walter Cronkite School at ASU.
