The Charlotte Hornets announced Thursday that Steve Martin, long the play-by-play announcer for Charlotte basketball television broadcasts, will be returning to the radio to become the team's play-by-play announcer there. Charlotte announced earlier this week that long time radio play-by-play announcer Scott Lauer would not be returning to the team next season.
Martin had the following to say on the subject:
"I’m happy to be going back to my roots. Radio is where I started my career and I'm excited about calling all the Hornets action on our flagship station WFNZ 610-AM and throughout the Hornets radio network.
