Dial Global
Kugler has worked for what is now Dial Global's sports broadcasting arm since 2004, when the network still bore the Westwood One name. That year, he began covering the College World Series for Westwood One and continues to do so to this day. He also was the network's lead voice for NCAA football broadcasts until 2009, when Westwood One elected to suspend the broadcasts.
Upon the death of Harry Kalas, Kugler was promoted to Westwood One's NFL broadcasts to take his place alongside color analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mark Malone. The two have worked together since the 2009 season. Beginning in 2012 Kugler also is the primary substitute announcer for Dial Global's Sunday night coverage, replacing Howard David as Dave Sims' substitute for when Sims' Seattle Mariners broadcasting duties keep him away from the booth.
In 2008, Kugler replaced Kevin Harlan as Westwood One's lead play-by-play voice for the Final Four and has called the games ever since alongside John Thompson and Bill Raftery.

Famous quotes containing the words dial and/or global:
“Nods from the Gilded pointers—
Nods from the Seconds slim—
Decades of Arrogance between
The Dial life—
And Him—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“However global I strove to become in my thinking over the past twenty years, my sons kept me rooted to an utterly pedestrian view, intimately involved with the most inspiring and fractious passages in human development. However unconsciously by now, motherhood informs every thought I have, influencing everything I do. More than any other part of my life, being a mother taught me what it means to be human.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
