Portland Trail Blazers Under Tom Dundon Make Dramatic Cuts to Broadcast Team

Under new owner Tom Dundon, the Portland Trail Blazers are making significant cuts to their broadcasting team, following earlier layoffs of 70 front office employees. TV analyst Michael Holton (19 seasons), statistician Tom Haberstroh, and hosts Neil Everett and Jamie Hudson have been let go or had contracts not renewed. Several other broadcasters face deep pay cuts. The TV production crew has also been reduced, losing its producer Greg Fonseca to NBA Broadcasting. The status of play-by-play announcers Kevin Calabro and Travis Demers is uncertain. The team may adopt a TV simulcast for radio broadcasts, a move Dundon previously made with the Carolina Hurricanes. No NBA team currently uses a TV simulcast.
