Media Views: Shannon could be entering final season as Cards broadcaster

Will it be a 50 finale for Mike Shannon?

Multiple sources say 2021 will be the last year in the Cardinals’ radio booth for Shannon, who began there in 1972 and is heading into his 50th season in that role.

Shannon could not be reached for comment on Thursday and Cardinals senior vice president Dan Farrell, who oversees the teams broadcasting operations, was vague when asked about the situation.

"We're working on finalizing details of Mike's contract for 2021 and hope to have it done very soon," he said.

Shannon, now 81, has reduced his schedule in recent seasons as part of his semi-retirement.
