The 2024-25 season marks the seventh for veteran broadcaster Andrew Monaco as the "Voice of the Aggies".
Monaco handles play-by-play duties for Aggie football, men's basketball and baseball, while also hosting the football, men's basketball and baseball coaches' radio shows. In addition, he produces a wide variety of content for Texas A&M Athletics, such as his podcast, The Andrew Monaco Show, and Aggies in 60, condensed broadcasts of memorable Texas A&M victories, on the Studio 12 Podcast Network.
Prior to Texas A&M, Monaco spent 16 years with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. While there he was part of a broadcast crew that covered two of the Spurs' five NBA titles (2007 and 2014), three Western Conference titles (2007, 2013, and 2014), and seven division titles (2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017). Over that span, Monaco developed into a versatile on-air personality while representing one of the most popular brands in professional sports. Not only did Monaco serve as a play-by-play broadcaster for select Spurs telecasts, but he also worked as a studio host for Spurs Live and as a sideline reporter for telecasts.
Monaco also brought extensive experience in play-by-play of college football and basketball to Aggieland, including college football telecasts of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), Big 12 Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and Mid American Conference (MAC) for Fox Sports Net, CBS Sports Network, Versus/NBC Sports Network, Comcast and ESPN.
Monaco's three-plus decades of broadcasting experience also includes work as the play-by-play voice of the WNBA's San Antonio Stars, the AHL's San Antonio Rampage, and the NBA's Orlando Magic. Monaco spent more than a decade in Orlando as host, sideline reporter and play-by-play on select Magic telecasts, as well as host of the Magic Radio Network. Additionally, he was voice of the WNBA's Orlando Miracle and the IHL's Orlando Solar Bears.
In addition, Andrew has NBA, MLB and NHL experience as host on Miami Heat, Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Lightning telecasts and lead announcer on NBA G-League’s national telecasts.
Monaco's charitable focus is on his work with Wish For Our Heroes (W4OH), an organization dedicated to providing resources to the "average" active-duty military member, in order to make their deployments a little easier for their families by improving the quality of life while at home or during deployment. He currently works with the American Heart Association and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards. He continues to serve as a mentor with Black PxP Fund, working with aspiring black broadcasters who are starting out on their journey in the industry.
Monaco and his wife, Laura, have two children: Andrew (a 2018 graduate of Texas A&M University) and Gina (a 2021 graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio).
