Phillies TV broadcast receives declining fan rating

Following up a Hall of Fame broadcaster after his untimely death is one of the hardest things for a broadcaster to do, and Phillies play-by-play voice Tom McCarthy has taken his role in strides since replacing Harry Kalas.

Paired with multiple color analysts with varying degrees of talent and entertainment, McCarthy has been among the better voices of the game.

Awful Announcing released their annual fan grades for every local television broadcast team in Major League Baseball. In their fourth year of having fans grade and rank broadcast teams, Awful Announcing had over 1,000 grades assigned to the Phillies broadcast team.
