==References==

After retiring from the playing field, Collinsworth began his broadcasting career as a sports radio talk show host on [[Cincinnati, Ohio|Cincinnati]] station [[WLW]]. Initially he was a guest host for [[Bob Trumpy]], but took over the show full-time as Trumpy accepted more television assignments. He then became a reporter for [[HBO]]'s ''[[Inside the NFL]]''.

In 1990, he became a part of the [[NBC]] network's [[The NFL on NBC|NFL broadcasts]], as well as some of the college programming. He joined the NBC pregame show in 1996, and earned an [[Emmy Awards|Emmy]] in 1996, and would win again in 1999 and 2004.

In 1998, Collinsworth joined the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] network after NBC lost the [[AFC]] broadcast rights to [[CBS]]. After several years as a [[color commentator]] on the ''Fox NFL Sunday'' pregame show, Collinsworth was assigned to the network's lead game broadcasting crew (teaming with [[Joe Buck]] and [[Troy Aikman]]) in 2002. He worked on Fox's [[Super Bowl XXXIX]] telecast three years later.

Collinsworth will return to NBC as a studio analyst when that network's Sunday night NFL coverage begins in the fall of 2006.
