Awful Announcing
Blue Jackets television broadcasters Steve Mears and Jody Shelley will continue in their current roles for the simulcast broadcast.
Radio play-by-play announcer Bob McElligott, who has been with the Blue Jackets for the past 17 years, did not have his contract renewed.
“Bob McElligott has made significant contributions to the Blue Jackets organization on the air and in the community over the past 17 years,” said Blue Jackets Vice President of Business Intelligence and Broadcasting Marc Gregory.
The Blue Jackets are one of seven NHL teams seeking a new television home following the shutdown of the FanDuel Sports Networks.
Radio broadcasts will remain on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus.
