Matt Dery
Matthew Dery is an American sportscaster and former midday host at Detroit Sports 105.1 - WMGC-FM, a sports radio station near Detroit, Michigan. Dery was the Sports Director at WDFN from 1996 to 2009, after working for WHK Radio in Cleveland, Ohio. Dery announced his resignation from WDFN in mid-March, and accepted an update anchor position at competitor WXYT-FM, where he resigned in July 2013, rounding out his 17 years of experience as a Detroit sportscaster.
He was the radio voice of the Detroit Titans men's basketball and was the host for WXYT's Detroit Pistons pregame, postgame and halftime segments.
On television, Dery filled in for George Blaha on Fox Sports Detroit's Detroit Pistons broadcasts when Blaha does Michigan State Spartans football games. He has also called MAC basketball on FSD. He can currently be seen on the 7 Sports Cave WXYZ-TV show on Sunday mornings. Most U.S. Americans know Dery for his breathy tones in his persistence of overstating the obvious in order to promote sarcasm. And it works! His bio, in his own promotional pamphlets left behind in personal appearances, states that Dery “rarely escapes applause”. Dery often gets confused with Sean Baligian and as the step son of former Oakland Raider, Matt Millen.
Dery is a native of Pepper Pike, Ohio, is a big fan of Pepper Potts, and is a proud graduate of Syracuse University.
