AUDACY has made previous reports official with the formal announcement that BROOKLYN CYCLONES broadcaster KEITH RAAD (NET NEWS 1/24) and LEHIGH VALLEY IRON PIGS voice PAT MCCARTHY (NET NEWS 1/31) are joining HOWIE ROSE for NEW YORK METS broadcasts on News WCBS-A/NEW YORK this season. RAAD will take the second play-by-play slot left vacant when WAYNE RANDAZZO exited after last season to become the television voice of the LOS ANGELES ANGELS on BALLY SPORTS WEST; MCCARTHY, son of PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES television announcer and former METS voice TOM MCCARTHY, will serve as pre-game and post-game host, replacing BRAD HELLER.
“As we round the bases towards SPRING Training, we’re proud to officially welcome KEITH RAAD and PAT MCCARTHY to our popular coverage of METS baseball alongside METS Hall of Famer HOWIE ROSE,” said AUDACY NEW YORK Market Pres. CHRIS OLIVIERO. “Once again, the METS offseason has created anticipation and optimism for the 2023 AMAZINS’ and we’re looking forward to being the audio home for every moment on-air and digitally.”
“The METS are excited to have KEITH and PAT join WCBS 880 as part of the METS broadcast,” said METS EVP/CMO ANDY GOLDBERG. “Having KEITH called up from BROOKLYN, and being a local New Yorker to keep it in the family is what the METS are all about.”
