Trail Blazers TV analyst Michael Holton “has been let go” after 19 seasons with the broadcast team amid “layoffs or contracts not being renewed” at Blazers Broadcasting, according to Maury Brown of FORBES. Cuts also include statistician Tom Haberstroh and TV hosts Neil Everett and Jamie Hudson. Several other broadcasters’ contracts “have lapsed, with deep pay cuts being expected in some places.” The status of TV play-by-play voice Kevin Calabro and radio play-by-play voice Travis Demers “is unknown,” but both have contracts up for renewal. The TV production crew has also “been reduced.” As of now, the Blazers are without a producer after Greg Fonseca left the Blazers to take a job with NBA Broadcasting. The graphics department will also “reportedly be reduced, all of which could affect the quality of broadcasts.” It is “possible the Blazers could use a TV simulcast for radio,” or have the radio crew “call road games remotely.” No NBA teams currently do a TV simulcast. Only the Raptors radio team does not travel with the team for road games ([_FORBES, 7/21_](https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2026/07/21/under-tom-dundon-portland-trail-blazers-make-dramatic-cuts-to-broadcast-team/)).
