Longtime Detroit Sports Broadcaster​ Retiring From TV

DETROIT — A longtime Detroit sports broadcaster announced Friday that he is retiring from television at the end of the Detroit Red Wings season.

John Keating, who is best known for his pre- and post-game coverage for the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings on FanDuel Sports Network (previously known as Bally Sports Detroit and Fox Sports Detroit), said this hockey season will be his last.

"It was wistful getting through the end of the Tigers season and now that the Red Wings season is ongoing, it just feels like it's time to share the decision," Keating said. "It came down to this: There haven't been enough sunsets with the family in Grand Haven on the Lake Michigan coast."

Keating said he made the decision to retire back in July, during the middle of the Tigers season. He has been covering the Tigers and Red Wings on the network since the 1990s.

The Detroit Red Wings wrap up their season on April 17, with the final home game on April 14.
