With the passing of Dave Niehaus, the M's have announced they will use 5 different announcers - possibly more - in a "committee" approach. I'm sorry to say that Ron Fairly will be coming back as well. Here is the article for your reading pleasure:

'Ol red faced Fairly.
I'm liking Ken Williams and Dave Henderson so far, but that's about it.
I was thinking today as I listened on the radio how I don't like Ken Levine . . . I don't like his voice or his corny jokes . . .
His voice is pretty nasally. However you spell that.
i think mike blowers has a boring voice.he never gets excited and only goes up about 1-2 octaves when someone hits a home run.
I don't really have a problem with Blowers. He is no Niehaus, but he certainly isn't the worst out there.
I'll stick with Rick Rizzs, and between the rest I like either Hendu or Buhner. Dave Valle wasn't terrible the few times I've seen him, either.
The Mariners have hired Aaron Goldsmith to be their new radio voice. He'll be teamed with Rick Rizzs. Goldsmith, apparently is 29, from St. Louis and previously called games for the Pawtucket Red Sox. Dave Sims and Mike Blowers will continue to call games on the t.v. side.
Emmy winner Ken Levine's reaction.
