Sounders Sign Calabro; Announce KING-5 Deal

Long-time voice of the Sonics Kevin Calabro has been named play-by-play voice of Seattle Sounders FC, which begins MLS play in March 2009. Calabro called Sonics games for 21 years, and also worked NBA games nationally with TNT, TBS, NBA TV and ESPN Radio. Calabro declined to move with the Sonics when the team relocated to Oklahoma City earlier this year. Sounders FC also announced KING-5 and KONG-6/16 will telecast all Sounders FC games, except those aired nationally. We can hear it now: "BOOM-shaka-laka! DAY-VID Beckham...with a nasty cross to the RACK!"
