Kelly out as Blues play-by-play voice

Most St. Louis Blues fans have grown accustomed to hearing John Kelly as the team’s television play-by-play broadcaster for the past 20 years. However, the franchise recently announced that his contract will not be renewed, marking the end of an era. Moving forward, Chris Kerber and Joey Vitale will take over the broadcast duties in a new simulcast format, while other changes in the broadcast team and studio roles aim to enhance the viewing experience. This shift reflects the organization’s efforts to bring fresh energy to their hockey coverage.
