Longtime radio voice of the Blue Jackets has a new home

What they're saying: "I've heard from so many people who told me they listened to my broadcasts and my podcasts — while driving an 18-wheeler, cleaning a school at night, working third shift at a factory," McElligott said in a news release.

• "They listened on the way to the arena or on the way home. I want to talk more with them, to hear what they have to say."

Catch up quick: McElligott spent 17 years as radio broadcaster until Columbus cut ties with him this offseason as part of a shift toward streaming games on the Blue Jackets Hockey Network.

• The team is now simulcasting the TV broadcast on its radio network.
