Super Bowl III Radio Broadcast
Football Game
by
This recording presents a radio broadcast of Super Bowl III, the championship game between the New York Jets and the Baltimore Colts, played on January 12, 1969. It offers the game as heard over the radio, with the action conveyed through commentary and the sounds of the broadcast rather than television pictures.
Listeners can follow the contest as it unfolds, from the play-by-play calls to the changing momentum on the field. The broadcast captures a landmark game in professional football history, remembered for the Jets’ upset victory over the heavily favored Colts.
Its appeal lies in hearing a major sporting event in its original radio form: the announcers’ descriptions, crowd atmosphere, and unfolding drama make the game accessible through sound alone.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
