About

Peter Gigliotti

Hello everyone! My name is Peter Gigliotti, and I am an aspiring sports media professional. As a native of Ashland, Massachusetts, I grew up surrounded by sports — playing them, watching them, and talking about them nonstop. Early mornings watching ESPN before school and summer nights listening to Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo call Red Sox games sparked my passion for sports media and ultimately shaped the path I'm on today.

I am approaching graduation from the University of Rhode Island, where I've studied Sports Media & Communication and Journalism. Throughout my time at URI, I've developed a versatile skill set across the ever-evolving sports media landscape. I consider myself a “five-tool” prospect in the industry — with strengths in broadcasting, writing, video editing, social media content creation, and digital & in-person marketing, allowing me to contribute in both traditional and digital spaces.

I have built a strong presence in sports social media, most notably through my New England Patriots-focused platform, PatsWithPete, which has grown to over 25,000 followers on TikTok. Through consistent content creation, I've developed skills in short-form storytelling, audience engagement, and brand growth. My work has led to opportunities with Underdog Fantasy, where I create sports content tailored to a national audience, as well as collaborations with Barstool Sports' “Barstool Boston” pages. My content has also been sponsored by Fanatics Sportsbook and featured on Bzzr, further expanding my reach and experience in branded content and digital marketing.

I have built a strong foundation in traditional sports media through both professional and on-campus experiences. I've completed internships with the sports departments at both WPRI-12 and WJAR-10 in Providence, RI, gaining hands-on experience covering high school sports, collegiate basketball, the New England Patriots, the Boston Red Sox, and the Boston Celtics while developing my reporting, writing, and anchoring skills in a fast-paced newsroom environment.

At URI, I've worked with the URI Football Team as a Creative Intern, contributing to digital content initiatives. I've also reported and anchored for The Good Five Cent Cigar, the university's student newspaper, and have served as a sideline reporter and color analyst for ESPN+broadcasts across soccer, basketball, and football. I've also been actively involved with WRIU 90.3 FM and the Rhody Sports Media Club, and serve as a brand ambassador for the Harrington School of Communication and Media.
