ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Matrix Midwest) - Former Blues TV broadcaster John Kelly will be calling games for the Los Angeles Kings for the 2025-2026 season.

The Kings made the announcement on X/Twitter on Thursday.

The Blues announced in July that Kelly’s contract would not be renewed as part of restructuring. Kelly had called Blues games on TV since the 2005-2006 season, and at the beginning of his career in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Before he returned to St. Louis, he was the TV voice of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche.

For the 2025-2026 season, the Blues said the broadcasts on FanDuel Sports Network will be simulcast on radio on 101ESPN, with Chris Kerber and Joey Vitale filling the booth.
