In the latest episode of Hawai‘i Sports 2Night w/ Rob DeMello, we sit down with one of the most recognizable voices in local sports — Spectrum Sports play-by-play announcer and ESPN Honolulu radio host Kanoa Leahey.
A third-generation sportscaster, Leahey has carved out his own legacy while following in the legendary footsteps of his grandfather, Chuck Leahey, and father, the late Jim Leahey.
An ‘Iolani School graduate and former KHON2 Sports Director, Kanoa has become the signature voice for University of Hawai‘i sports in this generation.
This week’s episode dives into Leahey’s journey into the “family business,” the evolution of his career, and the passion that drives his storytelling behind the microphone.
With multiple Hawai‘i Sportscaster of the Year honors under his belt, Leahey offers insight into balancing tradition with innovation in the ever-changing world of sports media.
Hawai‘i Sports 2Night airs Sundays at 7 p.m. on the KHON+ app, available on Apple TV, Roku, and Firestick.
Full episodes are available on demand after airing. A rebroadcast airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on KHON2.
