J.P. Shadrick replaces Dave Pasch as Cardinals’ play-by-play announcer

For the first time in a quarter century, the Cardinals have a new radio play-by-play voice.

J.P. Shadrick, who has called NFL games on the radio for Westwood One and worked for the Jaguars’ in-house media department, was announced today as the new radio voice of the Cardinals.

Shadrick replaces Dave Pasch, who had been the Cardinals’ radio voice for the last 24 seasons but announced in June that he was leaving the team to sign an exclusive contract with ESPN. Pasch had previously been splitting his time between ESPN and the Cardinals.

“Dave Pasch is one of the great voices in our game and I appreciate the high standard that he left behind,” Shadrick said. “I’m eager to work toward matching that but also take it further in my own style.”

Shadrick will work with former Cardinals center A.Q. Shipley, who is heading into his second season as the team’s radio analyst.
