Chuck Kaiton's future with the Carolina Hurricanes is uncertain with his contract set to expire next month and the team exploring other options for the radio broadcast.
The Hall of Fame radio announcer who moved to North Carolina with the Hurricanes in 1997 – and has worked alone in the booth almost that entire time – signed a one-year extension last summer and the expiration of Kaiton's contract and change in ownership has prompted a reevaluation of the team's broadcast strategy.
Among the possible alternatives to the status quo are Kaiton doing only home games – or none at all – while the team's radio affiliates carry a simulcast of the television broadcast.
