Jim Brandstatter replaced on Detroit Lions radio broadcasts after 31 years

After 31 years, the Detroit Lions will have a new radio voice.

Jim Brandstatter announced on his Twitter account Tuesday that WJR (760 AM) fired him from his role as color analyst for Lions' games.

"I had a great run of 31 years, Brandstatter wrote. "I can't thank Lion fans enough for spending time with me on all those Sundays. #ILoveDetroit #OnePride"

A quick heads up guys. This morning, WJR let me know they were going a different direction and terminated me from their Lions broadcasts. I had a great run of 31 years.
