Timeline
He called New York home until he was twenty-three years old. He lost his father when he was very young and he says, "Regretfully, I didn’t know him that well". Gold says that growing up in New York impacted his broadcasting career because there were over two hundred radio stations in the area. He worked at WOR and WNEW, where he learned the business. His high school was not the usual high school that the normal kids go to, instead he went from 7 am until 10:41 AM then he would go to work. In the eighth grade he knew he wanted to be a sportscaster. He began his career in 1972 working as a weekend sports reporter with the Mutual Broadcasting System.
Eli was the first play-by-play announcer for the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) Blazers basketball team and he was there for six years. Eli also spent four years as the broadcaster for the Birmingham Barons baseball team. While he was working with the baseball team he was named the Southern League’s Broadcaster of the Year in 1983. He was also voted "Alabama Sportscaster of the Year" four times by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriter Association.
Gold was named the Chris Schenkel Award winner by the National Football Foundation for 2019. The award recognizes broadcasters with long careers on the air with direct ties to a specific school. Gold is entering his 31st season calling Alabama Crimson Tide football games on its radio network.

Gold's second book was released in August 2007 and is called Bear's Boys. The book focuses on thirty-six of coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's Alabama football players and explores where they are today and how Coach Bryant's lessons impacted them in their post-University Of Alabama days.

Since 1984, Gold has been host of "NASCAR Live," a weekly show that is heard all over the United States on terrestrial radio, MRN.com and Sirius XM NASCAR Radio.
His first specialty was announcing ice hockey for the Eastern, North American, Southern, American, Central, and the National Hockey Leagues. In the NHL, Gold announced games for the 1979–80 St. Louis Blues over KDNL-TV and was the radio play-by-play announcer for Nashville Predators during the 2006–07 NHL season. Gold made a return to pro hockey during the 2017–18 season, broadcasting games for the expansion Birmingham Bulls in the Southern Professional Hockey League.
In 1976, Gold became a member of the NASCAR’s Motor Racing network, which gives over 600 stations the broadcast of the NASCAR races. Eli had many different jobs in the station, including co-anchor, turn announcer and pit reporter. His first job with MRN was working turns 1 & 2 for the 1976 World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in what he described as "basically an on the air audition." After the race, he asked Barney Hall if he thought "they are going to bring me back." His reply was that he thought "so[.] [Y]ou did OK and I'm sure you'll be back again." While he no longer works the booth or turns, he returned to working each MRN Sprint Cup Series broadcast in the 2015 season hosting the pre-race show and post-race show.
