Blue Jackets Cut Ties with Bob McElligott, Switch to Simulcast Audio

The decision was announced after a season of mixed reviews for the traditional TV commentary team. Management said the simulcast model will allow fans to hear the same audio feed on both television and the club’s radio network, streamlining production costs.

Bob McElligott, who spent over a decade with the franchise, expressed gratitude to the organization and its supporters. The change is expected to roll out at the start of the next NHL season.
