Flyers Announcer Suspended After Inappropriate On-Air Remark
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Philadelphia Flyers play-by-play announcer Tim Saunders has been suspended for two games following an inappropriate comment made during a recent radio broadcast. The incident occurred during the third period of a game when Saunders, believing the broadcast had entered a commercial break, made the offensive remark.
According to sources, Saunders made the comment during what he thought was a TV timeout with only a few minutes remaining in the third. He began humming to himself after realizing his miscalculation, before muttering a flippant comment to a co-worker. While the exact nature of the comment hasn’t been publicly released, it was deemed unsuitable for work.
Color commentator Todd Fedoruk quickly realized the broadcast was still live and attempted to alert Saunders, who initially dismissed the warning as a joke.
The Flyers organization and their broadcast partner, 97.5 The Fanatic, issued a statement regarding the incident, stopping short of naming the specific individual but offering “sincere apologies to those affected by the comments.” The statement confirmed a two-game suspension related to the on-air incident.
