Credit Sam Greenwood/Getty Images Golf announcers do not often defect from one network to another, so David Feherty’s move from CBS Sports to NBC and Golf Channel is unusual. Jim McKay made the move from CBS more than a half-century ago to join Roone Arledge’s fledgling ABC Sports. Steve Melnyk also left CBS for ABC in the early 1990s. More recently, Ian Baker-Finch made the reverse move, departing ESPN and ABC for CBS.
