After having been the radio voice of Southern Cal basketball for eight years, Chris Fisher has been selected by Oklahoma City Thunder officials as the organization’s new television play-by-play announcer.

For two hours today, starting at 12:30 p.m., Thunder fans can get their first look at Fisher. He and returning analyst Michael Cage will be involved in live-stream coverage of the Thunder’s Media Day event at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The stream can be viewed on the Thunder’s mobile app.

A native of northern California, the 33-year-old Fisher attended Southern Cal. He also has been involved in Trojan football radio broadcasts and has done television work for FS1, the Pac-12 Network, Fox Sports West and Time Warner Cable. He has a background in minor league baseball broadcasting.

In the Thunder television role, Fisher succeeds Brian Davis. After 10 seasons of Thunder play-by-play, Davis was not given a new contract.

Scheduled for Oct. 7 at Tulsa’s BOK Center, the Atlanta-OKC game is the only one of four Thunder preseason contests that will be televised on Fox Sports Oklahoma. There is a live-stream presentation of each of the other three preseason games.

For Fox Sports Oklahoma during the regular season, Fisher and Cage will be teamed for 70 Thunder telecasts.
