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.

NHL playoffs: Maple Leafs face Lightning without broadcasters, Perry ejected in intense game.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Awful Announcing

The Toronto Maple Leafs will continue to have their radio broadcasters, Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph, call games remotely for the first round of the playoffs, including Games 3 and 4 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The broadcasters will be limited to calling the game from television monitors inside their respective radio stations. This policy, which began due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is a cost-cutting measure that could continue if the Leafs advance further in the playoffs.
