Jim Budka

Full name: James M. Budka

I used to work over at WTOG as a master control operator back in 1977, master control/audio at WEDU Ch3 and then went on to be one of the main audio mixers for F&F productions. We did Championship Wresting from Florida with Gordon Solie every Wednesday from the Sportatorium over on Albany Street. Then on to CBS sports for many years.

After leaving St.Petersburg in 1996, went back home to Chicago and worked for WGN television and radio. In 2001 ended up here in Atlanta (with my wife Kathy and son Ben) at Turner Broadcasting. Got tired of those wonderful Chicago winters again!

Currently, I am the audio mixer for the Atlanta braves broadcasts and work on the NBA TNT Thursday night telecasts.
