"Fuehring will call about 70 games this year, most solo, with occasional guest analysts. It's a huge moment for him - after nine years behind the mic for Bridgeport and several MSG fill-in stints, he's earned his shot. Fuehring already knows the players, he knows the organization, and at just 35 years old, he represents a fresh energy on the broadcast side."
"The bittersweet part? Chris King and Greg Picker, the voices Isles fans have relied on for years, are still on the outside. King, who had been part of the Islanders' radio fabric since 1998, and Picker, who joined in 2013, weren't brought back. Their energy, chemistry, and connection to the fanbase helped define Islanders radio for a generation. For many, it doesn't feel quite right to move on without them."
Alan Fuehring will serve as the New York Islanders' radio play-by-play voice for the 2025-26 season, calling about 70 games, mostly solo with occasional guest analysts. Fuehring spent nine years in Bridgeport and had multiple MSG fill-in stints, and he is 35 years old. Fans had expected the team to replace radio with full TV simulcasts, prompting heavy criticism that led the team to restore a dedicated radio call. Chris King, with radio tenure since 1998, and Greg Picker, who joined in 2013, were not brought back, creating mixed emotions among the fanbase.
