Howie Singer leaving MSG after 44 years of directing Knicks broadcasts: ‘Going to be emotional’ By Stefan Bondy Published April 11, 2026, 5:54 p.m. ET Knicks Television Sports Director Howie Singer, poses in the production truck before the start of the game against the Toronto Raptors at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, USA, Friday, April 10, 2026. Jason Szenes for NY Post Howie Singer was in his early 20s, not far removed from graduating from UMass, when he simultaneously accepted his first job with MSG Network and needed a day off.
The reason was a concert by The Who at Shea Stadium and he already had tickets. If you get to know Singer, you’ll quickly understand his passion for music and concerts.
His boss “begrudgingly” agreed to grant the day off but, as a form of punishment for the audacity, assigned Singer to 35 consecutive days of writing out the schedule. Today, Singer recalls a colleague saying, “He’s not going to last long.”
Well, that was a gross underestimation of Howie Singer.
