880 CHED’s Oilers coverage will include play-by-play announcers Jack Michaels and Cam Moon, with Bob Stauffer providing colour commentary. Brenden Escott and Rob Brown will lead game day programming with the Oilers Face Off Show and Oilers Overtime, while Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer continues as a weekday cornerstone of the station’s hockey lineup.
“We couldn’t be happier to continue our 30-year partnership with 880 CHED, which includes what we believe is the best radio broadcast in hockey,” said Stew MacDonald, President and Chief Revenue Officer, OEG Sports & Entertainment. “Oilers fans deserve a broadcast that matches their passion, and 880 CHED continues to deliver elite play-by-play and analysis from one of the most respected teams in hockey, including Bob Stauffer, Jack Michaels, Cam Moon, Brenden Escott and Rob Brown.
