Overview
- ESPN announced a multiyear extension that keeps Pasch on NBA and college play-by-play and adds NFL responsibilities for the 23-year network veteran.
- Pasch confirmed he will step down as the Arizona Cardinals’ radio voice after 24 years, ending his long local partnership with analyst Ron Wolfley.
- Multiple reports say Pasch is the likely choice for ESPN’s No. 2 NFL announcing team that would primarily call International Series games overseas, but ESPN has not confirmed that role.
- The change is part of a wider rework of ESPN’s NFL coverage tied to its integration of NFL Network and to scheduling that sends more games abroad, a shift that conflicts with college commitments for established voices like Chris Fowler and Louis Riddick.
- ESPN plans to announce Pasch’s precise NFL booth and partner(s) in the coming weeks, a move that will affect announcer travel schedules and the Cardinals’ local broadcast continuity.
