Are there any early signals as to who may take over after Mike Gorman signs off from Celtics television broadcasts?

 

 

Mike Gorman’s recent reiteration that the 2023-24 season will be his last as the Celtics’ television play-by-play

voice has led to two predictable reactions:

 

An outpouring of well-deserved appreciation for Gorman, 77, who has called Celtics games since the 1981-82 season,

when he was paired with Tommy Heinsohn on Prism’s telecasts of home games. And irresistible conjecture and

speculation on who NBC Sports Boston will choose to replace Gorman once his farewell season is complete.

 

 

This much we know: The job is coveted for obvious reasons by established and up-and-coming play-by-play voices

alike from all corners of the country. Your friendly neighborhood sports media columnist has been asked by roughly

a dozen prospective applicants over the last couple of weeks what NBC Sports Boston’s plans are and how to get a

demo in the right hands. I can’t imagine how many NBC Sports Boston execs have already received.
