Vince Marotta is the co-host of Bickley & Marotta on Arizona Sports. Vince has been part of the Valley media landscape for a long time, starting in radio in 1996.
After a short flirtation with music radio from 2002 to 2007, it was back to sports. Vince joined Arizona Sports in 2011 as the chief editor of arizonasports.com and served in that role until the microphone came calling again in 2013 when he was paired with Dan Bickley for a two-hour midday show that grew into a four-hour morning program.
Vince served as the play-by-play voice of Arizona State women’s basketball from 2000 to 2004 and for spring training webcasts for the Oakland Athletics from 2011 to 2013. He’s served as the PA announcer for the Arizona Rattlers and has been the arena voice of the Phoenix Suns since 2016. You can hear Bickley & Marotta weekdays from 6-10 a.m.
