Charlotte FC announced today on local flagship WFNZ that Anna Witte will be the new analyst on the Club’s radio broadcasts for the upcoming 2025 MLS season.
Witte brings experience to the role, having previously called matches as an analyst in the NWSL and USL. Most recently, she served as a sideline reporter and host for the NWSL Draft. Additionally, she worked as a studio analyst for the Women’s Sports Network, further showcasing her deep knowledge of the game.
Reflecting on her new position, Witte expressed her excitement about joining the team. “As a North Carolina native who grew up playing and falling in love with the beautiful game, it’s an honor to join the Charlotte FC broadcast team to cover this incredible club,” she said.
Witte steps into the role previously held by Jessica Charman, who served as the team’s analyst for three seasons before departing to pursue opportunities in television play-by-play.
She will make her debut alongside play-by-play announcer Will Palaszczuk, a familiar voice for Charlotte sports fans. In addition to his work with Charlotte FC, Palaszczuk also hosts WFNZ’s Carolina Football Postgame and Charlotte Hornets Postgame shows.
Palaszczuk expressed his enthusiasm for working with Witte. “I’m so thrilled that I get to share the booth with Anna,” he said in a statement. “Someone with her combined playing and broadcasting experience, coupled with her Carolina roots, makes her the perfect fit for this role.”
Witte, a graduate of Penn State, played for the Nittany Lions on their women’s soccer club, further reinforcing her deep connection to the sport.
Looking ahead, Charlotte FC’s season kicks off on February 22nd on the road against the Seattle Sounders. Witte is eager to get started and begin her work with the broadcast team later this month.
“I’m excited to share the stories of the players,” Witte said. “Highlight the sport’s impact in the Carolinas, and bring all the action to the best fans in MLS.”
