EXCLUSIVE: Inside Josh Bailey's Islanders Radio Debut

Get a behind-the-scenes look at Josh Bailey and Alan Fuehring's radio call from Monday night's preseason game against the New York Rangers.

While I was covering the Islanders’ preseason game, The Elmonters’ Editor David Kolb sat in the radio booth taking in Josh Bailey’s debut. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look.

ELMONT, NY — Josh Bailey played 1,128 combined playoff and regular season games for the New York Islanders, but last night was another night of firsts for the former Islanders forward.

Bailey launched his media career, sitting in the color commentators chair in the radio booth up on the Stan Fischler Press Level at UBS Arena, calling the Islanders’ 3-2 OT preseason loss to the New York Rangers, alongside the new radio voice of the Isles, Alan Fuehring.

Much of the game, I was lucky enough to stand behind the broadcast team with radio engineer extraordinaire, Chris Majkowski, to get an inside look at the radio team’s unveiling.
