    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">THERE WILL be one new voice and one familiar voice coming from a different chair on Raptors radio broadcasts this season.

    The Fan 590 announced yesterday that former analyst Paul Jones will shift over one seat and become the signature radio play-by-play voice of the club.

    Longtime Fan staffer Eric Smith will be in the analyst's chair.

    A vacancy was created when Paul Romanuk, who handled play-by-play last season, told The Fan he was not planning to return to the job because he is moving to England.

    Jones was the radio analyst during the Raptors' first two seasons before switching to TV. He returned to radio last year. </div>

    I'm glad to see the Fan 590 is making some moves.

    Odd, I would think the roles would be reversed. Eric Smith doing the play by play and Jonesy doing the analyst.

    I am a huge fan of both of them. They are a great team together.

    I didn't like Romanuck that much, but I like Eric Smith.
