Comments:
: The Milwaukee Journal just reported that Provus is now a semi-finalist to replace Jim Powell on the Brewers broadcasts, since Powell has officially taken a spot in the Braves' booth. : ***************************** : Brewers narrow search for Powell replacement : By Bob Wolfley of the Journal Sentinel : Jan. 30, 2009 1:30 p.m. : : WTMJ Radio and the Brewers have narrowed their search for a replacement for broadcaster Jim Powell to two candidates, according to an industry source. : Cory Provus, who handles the Chicago Cubs pre-game show for WGN Radio, may be the leading candidate, followed by Jeff Munn, who handles pre- and post-game radio shows for the Arizona Diamondbacks. : Provus, a native of Highland Park, Ill., is a graduate of Syracuse University. Provus' duties included handling play-by-play announcing for one inning in games on WGN Radio. The Cubs' regular play-by-play voice, Pat Hughes, worked for 12 seasons with Bob Uecker on Brewers broadcasts. : Provus could be the leading candidate in part because of his familiarity with the National League Central, the Brewers' division. : Powell left the Brewers after 13 seasons to become the radio voice of the Atlanta Braves.
