LOS ANGELES – FOX Sports’ veteran sportscaster Pam Oliver has been named a 2018 Gracie Awards winner for her exemplary contributions in sports announced today by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF). She will accept the award at the 43rd annual Gracie Awards Gala highlighting women in television, radio, cable and social media in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, May 22.
“I’m extremely thankful to be recognized by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation with a Gracie Award,” said Oliver. “I can recall a time in sports television when there weren’t as many women in the forefront or behind the scenes but thanks to key decision makers, women are recognized more and more for their contributions to sports media.”

She was inducted into her alma mater’s sports hall of fame in 1996.
