Joe Bowen Confirms He & Jim Ralph Will Be Back Behind The Leaf Mic

It will be the 42nd season for the play-by-play voice and he'll again be joined by his usual partner, Jim Ralph. 

Have to say I would have been surprised if it had happened any other way, but it appears they'll be joining their Jays radio colleagues in being homeward bound. They'll be calling the away games from a Toronto studio. 

Holy Mackinaw, Joe Bowen confirms his return to Leafs radio

  I know most other people like Joe.  But I can't stand his screaming and I'll do my best to avoid listening to him.

I find Bowen to be the most irritating sports announcer. I avoid Leaf radio broadcasts like the plague.

Why did you never want to get into a car with Danny Gallivan?

Because he always went out for a cannonading drive.

Rogers has released its schedule for the coming Leafs' season, including plans for the radio broadcasts on the Fan.

"41 Maple Leafs live radio broadcasts throughout the regular season. Veteran play-by-play announcer Joe Bowen returns to the Maple Leafs broadcast booth alongside analyst Jim Ralph. New this season, Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert host pregame and intermissions, followed by Leafs Talk with JD Bunkis and Sam McKee for instant postgame reaction."
