Pete Byrne

Pete Byrne brings his unique perspective and a passion for sports to viewers every night, as WSBT-TV's sports director. More than a decade of sport journalism experience has taken Pete to the Super Bowl, MLB opening day, playoffs in all four major sports, the PGA Tour, the Frozen Four, the Final Four, and the BCS. However, the best part of covering sports for WSBT is being home and following the teams he really loves. Pete grew up in South Bend and went to high school at Trinity where he played basketball, baseball and just a little soccer.

Watch part three of Pete Byrne's interview with Skylar Diggins above. Parts one and two are linked to the left.

South Bend Washington High School is being investigated by the IHSAA for potentially competing with an ineligible player. The student-athlete in question transferred to Washington from an out of state school and participated in five years of high school activity. The IHSAA is investigating whether or not that student-athlete should have been deemed ineligible. Participating in more than four years of high school activity violates the eligibility standards in Indiana. WSBT sports director Pete Byrne spoke to Chris Matthys, the Washington athletic director, this afternoon.

                                        WSBT sports director Pete Byrne sat down with Brian Kelly for an exclusive interview before the Irish football team left for Ireland. Kelly discusses the  season opener against Navy with Pete, and looks ahead to his third season at Notre Dame.                                           Kelly shares the pluses and minuses of being the head coach at Notre Dame, and how close he thinks his team is to becoming a championship-caliber team.

Skylar Diggins is without question, one of the best college basketball players in the country. She's also, undoubtedly, the most popular. Diggin's celebrity reached new heights when she led Notre Dame to their first, of back to back Finals Fours as a sophomore.   In part two of our conversation...Skylar talks with WSBT sports director Pete Byrne about the plusses and minuses, that go along with being the face of women's basketball.
