ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Blues, FanDuel Sports Network, and 101 ESPN today made a joint announcement related to their game broadcast and studio shows beginning next season, highlighted by longtime radio play-by-play voice Chris Kerber and analyst Joey Vitale advancing to the television booth as part of a new simulcast model with 101 ESPN, the team’s radio partner.
The move by the team and television network includes new hosting roles for the Blues LIVE pregame and postgame shows as well as in-game reporting duties. As part of the restructuring, the contract for John Kelly as the television play-by-play voice was not renewed.
Additional changes to the broadcasting lineup announced today by the Blues and FanDuel Sports Network include Jamie Rivers returning to his role as a Blues LIVE analyst, his role from 2009-23 before sliding over to the game analyst chair the last two years. Rivers is joined on the Blues LIVE analyst team by a pair of Hockey Hall of Fame members, Bernie Federko - returning for his 25th season on the Blues broadcast team - and Chris Pronger, who will now have a greater role with Blues LIVE and FanDuel Sports Network among his other media commitments. Andy Strickland expands his role as rinkside reporter to include Blues home and road games and also hosting Blues LIVE for road games. Scott Warmann continues his Blues LIVE hosting duties for home games. Alexa Datt has concluded her four-year stint hosting Blues LIVE.
