Who is Steve Levy?
Steve was born in New York City USA, on 12 March 1965 – his zodiac sign is Pisces, and he holds American nationality. He’s a journalist and sportscaster, who’s probably known best for the work which he’s done for the American international basic cable sports channel ESPN, especially for his coverage of college football on the show “Monday Night Football”, as well as for his coverage of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Early life and education
Steve was raised in New York City by his Jewish parents, about whom little is known because he respects their privacy; it’s believed that his father was a used-car salesman, and that his mother was a high school teacher.
Because Steve hasn’t talked about having any siblings, most of his fans believe him to be an only child.
He became interested in sports journalism while attending John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York State; Steve wrote for the school sports magazine during his final two years there, and was also physically quite active, playing football and soccer with his peers. He matriculated in 1983, and enrolled at the State University of New York at Oswego, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications and broadcasting in 1987.
Steve’s career
Steve launched his career straight out of college, when hired to work as a host for the commercial radio station WFAN, but spent only a couple of months with them before he was offered a job by the regional cable and satellite TV network MSG.

He’s mostly focused on contributing to the daily news show “SportsCenter”, while he also hosts a late night Monday show during the National Football League (NFL) season; Steve apparently thought about quitting ESPN after they lost the rights to televise National Hockey League (NHL) games, as he enjoyed covering these, but instead chose to focus more on covering NFL.
