?@TSN1150 Shout out to @AndyMc81 our Ticat PXP voice! He’s stepping away this year, so thank you for a great inaugural season on TSN 1150 !!
Andy McNamara ?@AndyMc81 21h21 hours ago Big thanks & love to all @Ticats fans. Got a couple projects that I can’t go into details on now, but need to step away from the radio PxP
Why not give her the play-by-play job? she could be the first female football play by play person. Try to tap into the female market. Her and Sal in the booth, - Beauty and the Beast
Beth Mowins of ESPN has been calling NCAA football games for at least 10 years and she did a Raiders' pre-season game in 2015. Prior to Beth, Gayle Sierens called one NFL game.
So this trail has already been blazed.
I would expect the salary would be the determining factor in who replaces Andy McNamara. It's a good job for a new up and comer......man or woman.
Back in the day, radio play by play was big stuff...not so anymore. TV rules and that's where the big money is .
When it comes to talent you just never know. We have a cable TV hockey and lacrosse play by play people here in Peterborough who are excellent and could easily function at the national network level. So I'm sure the Tiger-Cats and TSN won't have much trouble attracting the kind of talent they need.
Whoever it is will be lucky to work with Coach Sal. He is so good and well-versed that he makes the play by play caller's job much easier.
[b]"It sounds like there’s no guarantee that Salavantis will return next season. TSN1150 general manager Bob Harris said in an email that no decision has been made on a play-by-play team."
“We’re evaluating opportunities in both roles, but at this time there are no front runners,? Harris said.[/b]

Maybe Coach Sal is going to replace Rudolph as O-Line Coach?
Honestly, I'll enjoy having someone new replace Coach Sal. Nothing against Coach Sal, but after listening to him for years and years, it'll be nice to hear a new perspective during the games.
Coach Sal wants to stay and I would like him to stay also. (but I don’t get a vote )
Salavantis said Tuesday that he would like to continue in the role he has held since 1993 but he has not been contacted by anyone from TSN about his future.
“I’d be disappointed. Very much so,” said Salavantis, who also served as an assistant couch with the club from 1985 to 1990. “I want to do it but it’s up to them whether they want me to do it.”
Just coming across this now. that's too bad I really liked Andy's call. Waaaay more energy than rick and his call added a lot i thought to coach sal. coach sal knows his stuff obviously but he's so low key it was good to have a more energetic voice! :rockin:
