role at Fox included reporting from the field for certain sports events that are considered worthy of attention within the network's regular newscasts. Flatter had served as a substitute anchor for the network since January 2008. He has covered the Kentucky Derby since 2007 as a paddock reporter for ESPN Radio, which won an Eclipse Award for its 2009 broadcast. Flatter covered the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, both for ESPN Sports Radio in the US and Sport 927 in Australia. Additional Flatter assignments have included the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles (1984), and Winter Olympics both in Salt Lake City (2002) and Vancouver (2010). In 2000, Flatter produced a baseball feature for ESPN Radio that went on to earn the network an RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for Use of Sound. In 2011, he continues to get noticed in the media both in Australia and the United States, as an item in the Jan. 2, 2011 Melbourne Age mentioned Flatter's adventures getting to work through the Manhattan blizzard that week, writing: "Ron Flatter, a news anchor at [Fox News Radio] and sports correspondent for [Sport 927], found himself fighting Antarctic-like conditions on the way to work in Manhattan the last week."
