Notes
[edit]- From 1999 to 2002, the Hornets' three color commentators rotated between television and radio. One would call the game on television and the other two would do the game on radio.

"The Jan. 12 meeting between the Pelicans and Nuggets is the first of 10 games that will be broadcast locally on WVUE-TV Fox 8 and other Gray Television-owned stations throughout the Gulf South over the next four months.... The broadcast trio of play-by-play voice Joel Meyers, color commentator Antonio Daniels and sideline reporter Jennifer Hale will not change, either. Meyers, Daniels and Hale will broadcast every Pelicans game that is not an exclusive national TV game for the remainder of this season, whether the game is on Bally Sports or on a Gray station."
