Nantz’s career would later take him to Utah, where he worked for KSL-Channel 5 from 1982-85, calling Jazz games alongside Hot Rod Hundley among other duties, until CBS Sports hired him away. He got a key to the city Friday. Two streets on an intersection outside the stadium were renamed “Jim Nantz Way” and “Hello Friends Boulevard.”
