ATLANTA - Scott Miller, the voice of Columbus State University Athletics, has been elected to the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, as the organization announced the Class of 2022.
Now in his 46th year of calling Cougar action, Miller is a broadcasting icon, winning numerous awards for his play-by-action as well as in-studio work. Some of his honors include four GABBY awards and three Merit honors. He has been instrumental to both the Cougar Athletic Department and the CSU Department of Communication since WCUG 88.5 Cougar Radio became the radio home of Columbus State Athletics in 2020.
Miller has brought some of the most memorable Cougar moments to life, including when the Columbus State University baseball team captured the 2002 NCAA Division II national championship. Miller has been on the call for over 1,100 games since taking the reigns in the broadcast booth and table.
A member of the Columbus State Athletic Hall of Fame, Miller has presided over the organization for over two decades while being a longtime supporter of Cougar athletics. Also, he was inducted into the Chattahoochee Valley Sports Hall of Fame and was awarded the 2019 Herbert Greene Golden Cougar Award.
Each winter, the Georgia Association of Broadcasters hosts an annual luncheon honoring new Hall of Fame members and acknowledging recipients of the E. Lanier Finch Scholarship. This event brings together seasoned broadcasting veterans with aspiring broadcasters. It's a celebration of the amazing careers of those who have built the industry while looking ahead to the future with our scholarship recipients.
Since its inception, the GAB Hall of Fame has inducted 93 Broadcasters, honoring big name legends and small-town greats. Consideration for this honor is given to broadcasters with a minimum of 20 years in broadcasting with a tie to Georgia; went to school, lived, or worked in the state, a solid record of achievement including rating dominance and local/national awards, and a history of dedication to the communities they serve.
The class includes Miller, Doug Weathers, Ed Harbison and Joe Willie-Sousa. Past inductees include this year's emcee, Monica Pearson, and others such as Skip Caray, Judy Woodruff, Pete VanWieren, and Mike Roberts among numerous others.
