SportsNet New York moved another step closer to its March 16 launch yesterday, naming nine anchors/reporters for its "SportsNite" news operation.
The only name recognized locally is Gary Apple, who spent seven years as Ch. 2's weekend sports anchor. He currently does spot duty for MSG Network.

The rest of the crew has experience, albeit none on New York turf.

Steve Berthiaume comes to SNY from ESPN, Steve Overmyer worked as a sports anchor at CNN Headline News. Kenny Choi moves here from the Fox affiliate in Tulsa.

SNY also looked south, bringing in Chris Cotter, who hosted a variety of shows for Comcast Sports Southeast, Brian Custer, a sports anchor who spent eight years at CBS-11 in Dallas, Julie Donaldson, host for the Miami Heat's "Heat TV" and David Lee, a sports director out of WHBQ-TV in Memphis.

SNY brass did not have to go far to find Matt Yallof, a reporter and anchor at Comcast SportsNet in Philadelphia.

"(SNY boss) Jon (Litner) and I have researched hundreds of potential candidates from around the country," said SNY executive producer Curt Gowdy Jr. "Each of these individuals has a unique background and specialty."
