Radio vs TV in NHL Broadcasts | Detroit Red Wings News
Description
Hockey broadcasting just got spicy: Red Wings fans celebrate Paul Woods’ Hall of Fame induction while Blue Jackets fans are fuming over cutting ties with longtime radio voice Bob McElligott — a move echoing teams like the Sabres and Hurricanes who now just stream TV audio over the radio. It’s a cost-cutting trend that’s alienating diehard fans who crave dedicated radio calls, like Toronto’s Joe Bowen who’s forced to broadcast from a TV in the studio. Thankfully, Detroit’s holding firm with separate TV and radio crews — Mickey Redmond and Ken Daniels on TV, Ken Kal on the radio — keeping that classic fan-favorite setup intact. Meanwhile, Red Wings prospects JP Hurlbert and Brent Solomon are gearing up for Big Ten battles, and the USA coach is praising the grit of Detroit’s top 2026 draft pick.
