Jim Fuchuck  Salt TV Sports Anchor/Correspondent

As a child Jim attended National Hockey League Games with his father 
and thus, was the first kid on his block to call a hockey player a 
bumb. From the time Don Cherry nicknamed Jim “Hardy Astrom 
Jr.” (Old goalie for The Colorado Rockies in the late 70’s) 
Jim’s had sport-casting in blood. Jim’s a multi media guy as 
he’s been a television sports caster in Minot, North Dakota at KMOT-
TV and at WQAD in Moline, Illinois. And a radio sports personality 
for 1320 KFAN and 1280 The Zone. During Jim’s 15 years in the media 
he’s covered The Indy 500, The 2002 Olympic Winter Games, NBA 
Finals, NFL playoff games, The NCAA’s Mens Final Four (including the 
University of Utah’s surprising tournament run led by Center Andrew 
Bogut) and many College Football Bowl Games (including the 2004 
Fiesta Bowl where he The University of Utah defeated The University 
of Pittsburgh).

Favorite event attended as a fan:
Game 4 of the 2004 World Series in which The Boston Red Sox defeated 
The Colorado Rockies 4-3 to sweep the series.

Favorite  moments of live games seen:
1986 Dan Marino and The Miami Dolphins visit John Elway and The 
Denver Broncos-Marino hits Nat Moore in stride while not looking at 
him, the play results in a 60 yard td, Dolphins still lose the game.

Jim’s a big fan of many NFL running backs, but one of his favorite 
moments was witnessing Walter Payton leaping in the air for a 1 yard 
TD run.

Seeing Wayne Gretzky (5 times) but he really liked it when he saw 
Gretzky score his first goal of the 1994-95 season.

An avid fly fisherman, Jim lives to spend his days in any of Utah’s 
many fishing holes. Jim’s a big time hiker who can’t get enough of 
nature.
