You've never HEARD the PBA Tour like this. Never seen it quite like this either.

How it goes over with the bowling community is something we will have to wait to find out, but it won't be a long wait. The first telecast on The CW with Rick Allen on play-by-play is Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 3 p.m. Wisconsin time.

Allen has years of experience in auto racing, and does college sports on The CW. Although he's watched bowling from afar, this will be his first go at it in the booth.

Get to know the man with a new voice for televised bowling before he steps up to the Hot Mic.
