One of the major changes will be Rob Ray being added to the broadcast booth as the full-time color analyst. Brian Duff has also signed a new deal with the team to serve as the full-time in-game host for all Sabres broadcasts on MSG.
One more thing that was announced and i really love this idea, is the creation of a new Sabres radio show, hosted by Kevin Sylvester, which will air daily and makes its debut on June 18.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (June 11, 2012) --- Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black today announced a slate of changes to Buffalo Sabres broadcasts for the 2012-13 season. Among the major changes will be Rob Ray being added to the broadcast booth as the full-time color analyst and the creation of a new Sabres radio show, hosted by Kevin Sylvester, which will air daily and makes its debut on June 18. Ray, an eight-year veteran of the Sabres broadcast team, enters his first stint as a full-time color commentator and will provide analysis for all 82 games in the 2012-13 season. He joins Sabres Hall-of-Famer Rick Jeanneret in the booth as Jeanneret, currently the longest-tenured broadcaster in hockey, embarks on his 41st season behind the microphone. Jeanneret, after calling a more limited number of games last season, has signed a new, multi-year contract and will increase the number of games he will call in 2012-13.
The team will also be rolling out its new radio program, Sabres Hockey Hotline, on WGR 550, beginning Monday, June 18. The program will be broadcast live from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Friday year-round from the Sabres Store at First Niagara Center. The show will be an additional outlet for Sabres fans to hear exclusive interviews, analysis, team updates, as well as game and practice recaps. WGR 550, the team’s official radio station, and the Sabres have been broadcast partners for a combined 25 years over the course of the franchise’s 42-year history.
