Leafs' Radio Announcers Overcome Remote Broadcasting Challenges to Advance in Playoffs.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Awful Announcing
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.
