Texas Rangers Ink Nadel, Hicks, Ornelas To New Deals

Nadel

The TEXAS RANGERS will keep the same broadcasters in place that ended the 2012 season, inking radio voices ERIC NADEL and MATT HICKS, Spanish-language play-by-play announcer ELENO ORNELAS, and television play-by-play voice STEVE BUSBY and TOM GRIEVE to contracts for 2013. 

DAVE BARNETT, who left the team in midseason after a widely-publicized on-air incident in which he suddenly experienced problems speaking, will not return; BUSBY moved from radio to television to replace him, with HICKS joining at the time to spell BUSBY on radio.  Radio pre- and post-game host BRYAN DOLGIN was also not renewed.

RANGERS games air on a network headed by ESPN Sports KESN (ESPN DALLAS 103.3 FM)/DALLAS, with Spanish-language games on ESPN Spanish Sports KZMP-A (1540 AM ESPN DEPORTES)/DALLAS.
