It looks like Kate Pettersen won't be the in-house reporter for the coming season:

On a different topic, I wish one of the local "reporters" would see to getting a straight answer about Gradin's status.

It's probably a low compensation role for the heat associated, she was getting harassed big time on twitter over the year. That combined with not much in the way of vertical movement its probably one that's good for the resume and then you move on to a better opportunity.

That said its a shame because the in house reporter providing content is huge for the fans, there was a gap of like 10 years between Derek Jory regularly writing and doing stuff and them bringing Kate on.

I'm not sure what she did before or she just hasn't updated her website but it has stuff about her doing the same kind of role but with Edmonton.

I heard Drance today. He was on HalBro on Thursday. I've missed the guy.

Scott Russell of CBC signing off his final broadcast. 66 years old. Man how time flies.

So is Ferraro full time with the Canucks broadcasts now?

Trying to listen to 650 these days is rough. Blue Jays talk is sheer torture. I have to change the dial rather than have that Jays talk shoved down my throat.

No.

Ray is still under contract with ESPN for 4 more years. He'll do around 30 games plus or minus.

Damn. I thought he only had 1 year left
