Andrew Siciliano is a sports anchor for Fox Sports. He can be seen in FSN Final Score, where he is a co-anchor, and heard (along with Krystal Fernandez) on GameTime Live, which airs on FOX Sports Radio from 7:00 to 10:00 PM ET.

Siciliano is also the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League and has previously called games for the Las Vegas Gladiators. In addition, he hosts the Red Zone Channel, which is part of the Superfan supplement to the NFL Sunday Ticket pay-per-view package on DirecTV.

Siciliano's first assignment was an anchor/reporter position at all-news WMAQ-AM 670 in Chicago. When WMAQ secured the broadcast rights for the Chicago Bears in 1999, Siciliano hosted the post-game talk show. He remained at the station until 2000, when he moved to Los Angeles to work for Fox Sports Network (FSN). Andrew won two A.I.R. awards, being named Best Sports Reporter and Best Sports Anchor while at WMAQ. Previous assignments while at FSN included the Ultimate Fantasy Football show, and AFL Weekly, both on FSN, and a morning show on FSR hosted by Tony Bruno (and later by Van Earl Wright).

Andrew Siciliano is a graduate of S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, which he has mentioned in passing during Final Score, and a fan of golden-era hip-hop.

He is a frequent substitute host for The Jim Rome Show, and is a recurring panelist on the ESPN show Jim Rome is Burning.
