Patriots Opting for Unconventional Approach with Preseason Broadcasts


The preseason is a time for experimentation, and the New England Patriots are taking a unique approach to their two locally-produced broadcasts on Channel 4. In previous years, they had their radio team call television game broadcasts, and even featured an alternate broadcast with the McCourty twins. This year, they are trying something different by utilizing a three-person booth with Devin and Jason McCourty and Scott Zolak, without a traditional play-by-play voice. The broadcast will be more conversation-driven, focusing on player performances and insights rather than play-by-play commentary.

In other sports news, the NHL is expected to announce a replacement for retired play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards for the Boston Bruins. Approximately six candidates have auditioned, including Judd Sirott and Tom Caron. The decision will involve input from the Bruins organization.

Additionally, Joe Castiglione, a recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, has been praised for his coaching and mentorship of fellow broadcasters. Lou Merloni shared how Castiglione helped him improve his play-by-play skills during baseball broadcasts.

Finally, in radio ratings news, 98.5 The Sports Hub continues to dominate over WEEI in the Boston market. Shows like Zolak and Bertrand and Felger and Mazz maintain high ratings, while WEEI lags behind in the competitive market. Fans eagerly await the results of the next ratings period for any potential changes in the radio landscape.
