“Deep pay cuts” are anticipated for some positions on the broadcast team, Brown adds, while the TV production crew has also been reduced. In that instance, Dundon let go of the radio broadcast team – including longtime announcer Chuck Kaiton, who declined a steep pay cut – and aired a simulcast of the TV broadcast audio over the radio. That isn’t the plan for the Blazers, the team said in a statement to Joe Freeman of The Oregonian (Twitter thread). While plans are still being finalized, play-by-play radio broadcasts will continue in the 2026-27 season, and will not be television simulcasts.” Still, the Blazers’ broadcasts will sound quite a bit different in the fall.
