Let’s treat my first note this morning like the pregame show on the radio. Literally. Because on Tuesday morning, Charlie Roumeliotis will be taking over where Joe Brand left off as the host of Blackhawks pre- and postgame as well as their “Blackhawks Live.”

A lot of folks had asked me about Charlie’s landing spot with NBC Sports Chicago folding up shop at the end of September and the news is now finally out there. Really excited for him and the Blackhawks radio listening audience. He’s fabulous.

Charlie had been the Blackhawks Insider for NBC Sports Chicago since 2019. Brand, of course, moved on to becoℱme the radio play-by-play voice of the Penguins.

And now new hype video from the Blackhawks:
