NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Howie Rose, the TV voice of the Islanders since 1995, is stepping down.
Rose informed MSG Networks of his decision Wednesday, Newsday reported. Also the radio play-by-play announcer for the Mets, Rose cited a desire to reduce his workload.
“I don’t know that I’ve ever been more conflicted about a decision I’ve had to make in my life,” Rose told Newsday. “But I’m confident I made really the only one I could make at this point in time in my career and life. Strictly, it’s the idea that I could have an offseason like most people who do what I do for a living.
