Jack McCune is a junior majoring in broadcast journalism at Penn State University. While his passion is sports broadcasting, Jack also loves to cover news.

​

Jack is a contributor to CommRadio, Penn State’s online student radio station, where he has covered Penn State sporting events through play-by-play and beat coverage.

​

He’s a Basketball Insider for the station where he covers the Penn State men’s team on a daily basis through articles, podcasts, live shows and Twitter updates. His most popular article reflected on the 2020-21 team in the middle of its season in comparison to the much more successful 2019-20 campaign at the same time of the year.

​

Jack joined the CommRadio Management team in February 2021 as a New Member Coordinator for the station to help familiarize new members with journalistic writing, play-by-play tips, instructions on how to operate the station’s sound board and more.

He also co-hosts Broad Street Bros, a Philadelphia sports radio show which airs on Tuesdays from 7:15-8:15.

​

In addition to the sports department, Jack also contributes to CommRadio News. He is the producer and co-anchor for the Monday newscast at 5:30. He also contributes to election coverage by covering local elections, the presidential debates and Election Day as a live field reporter, studio analyst and writer.

​

Jack is also the social media/public relations chair for LEV, Penn State Hillel’s THON Organization. In addition to posting graphics for the organization’s Instagram and Facebook pages, he helped to raise over $17,000 for THON 2021, a 46-hour philanthropic dance marathon in search of a cure for childhood cancer.
