About   (request update)
An award winning writer, Gray’s professional experience began at the Atlanta Daily World newspaper as Sports Editor where he redefined community and local sports coverage in that market. From there he became a general sports correspondent for the Atlanta Journal & Constitution. For three years Gray was a sports columnist for Creative Loafing, Atlanta’s City Paper, which led to his opportunity to write for the Atlanta Tribune. He was also the original Atlanta Hawks NBA blogger for the The Sporting News. In 1997, Gray was honored by the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists with the Best Feature Story for Print Award. He was also a contributor for Atlanta Hawks, Falcons, and Braves team publications. Currently, he is a correspondent for the Afro American Newspaper.

Gray is an accomplished broadcaster having debuted the weekly version of ESPN Radio’s GameDay program with former Major League pitcher Rob Dibble. He introduced his concept of the “Weekend Sports Groove” and also was a host on Game Night for the worldwide leader in sports as well.

Mark has been on the cutting edge of satellite radio since its inception. “The SportsGroove Radio Show” on XM Satellite Radio was the first originally produced sports program on that platform. He was also the first weekend host for MLB Live, the Major League Baseball channel’s, wrap up show on Home Plate channel 175. Gray also hosted talk radio programs in Atlanta, on WQXI 790 The Zone, and for Radio One’s WOL-AM (NewsTalk 1450 AM) in Washington D.C. on The SportsGroove Radio Show.
