Trail Blazers parting ways with Director of Broadcasting.
Sources: Trail Blazers shaking up their broadcasting dept. by parting ways with the Director of Broadcasting Jeff Curtin, their lead TV producer Dan Hyatt, and producer Nick Livingston. Three quality men and long-term employees. Was told Bert Kolde heavily involved in TV product.

Damn. I remember becoming a fan in 2011 and hearing Mike Barrett always shout out Dan Hyatt in the truck.
This is honestly kinda concerning because we have (had?) one of the best broadcasts in the league, even national media guys I listen to on podcasts have said that. I hope the product doesn’t change all that much but that’s maybe too much to hope for
Would love to hear the (actual) reasoning behind this.
Wrong director
This is quite baffling. Jeff Curtin has been with the Blazers for nearly 30 years and the Portland broadcast team is highly respected around the league. Something doesn’t smell right here…
Hard for me to really say much about this stuff without knowing more
Bert Kolde decision.
But why?
Typical Vulcan move. So over this ownership group.
