CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers will have a new radio announcer when they return to the field next season.

Bill Rosinski has been the only radio play-by-play announcer in the team's history before he was let go.

He says he's disappointed after spending ten years with the team but was told there was a decision to move in another direction.

Rosinski says he asked the team for a contract extension several months ago, but got no response.
