Mike Haraz
Mike is a co-host on both the shows Face-Off and Pit Pass. He started hosting Pit Pass about a year ago and this year his first year with Face-Off. He likes to talk about a variety of sports and hosting shows about a particular sport makes him appreciate it more. He likes to have full control of his shows to make it the way he wants it to be and express himself and his opinions. He also believes that teamwork and communication are two of the most important aspects of making a show run smoothly. In addition to his hosting on Channel 3, he's also very interested in radio broadcasting.
In the future, Haraz plans on attending Brookdale Community College and taking courses in the TV production or radio broadcasting fields.
My favorite thing about hosting is that it gives me the reins to run the show my way... use the music I want to use.
