UNC's Woody Durham named to National Sports Media Association Hall of Fame | News & Observer

Woody Durham, the longtime voice of the North Carolina Tar Heels, has been elected to the National Sports Media Association Hall of Fame.

Woody’s son, Wes, posted the announcement on his personal twitter page Tuesday afternoon. Durham will be inducted in June, along with Thomas Boswell, Bryant Gumbel and Dick Weiss. Durham spent 40 years as the radio play-by-play announcer for UNC football and basketball, before retiring in 2011.
