Blaha on TV full time?
The Pistons plan to announce some personnel changes for their TV and radio broadcasts, but not much will change.
Longtime FSN Detroit play-by-play man Fred McLeod has departed to take over as the Cleveland Cavaliers' TV presence.
All indications are George Blaha will move full time to TV, doing games on FSN Detroit and TV20. Talks are in the final stages among FSN Detroit, Blaha and the Pistons.
Mark Champion, who has been doing radio for the Pistons since 2001, will become the full-time radio voice.
"We're lucky to have so much talent in this town," said Pete Skorich, the Pistons' vice president of multimedia communications.
"If everything goes as planned, we're going to have a great broadcast team that Pistons fans are very familiar with."
Blaha did not respond to requests for comment.
Blaha will start his 31st season with the Pistons this fall, doing radio and TV work.
Champion is best known for his 16 years doing radio for the Lions. He was let go in 2005 as part of that team's radio shake-up.
