Leafs' Radio Announcers Overcome Remote Broadcasting Challenges to Advance in Playoffs.
The Toronto Maple Leafs' radio announcers, Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph, will be allowed to travel and call games on the road for the team's second-round series against the Florida Panthers. The team and its broadcast partners had previously opted for remote broadcasting, but public pressure led to a change in policy. While remote broadcasts may continue for some games and events, fan pressure appears to be the main way to convince networks to send announcers on the road.
