The 2022-2023 NBA season is his 51st season as a play-by-play announcer with the team. He is the longest-tenured broadcaster in NBA history, entertaining Suns fans with his signature calls and inimitible style for generations. Originally simulcast on both local television and radio until the end of the simulcast in 2003, his broadcasts can presently be heard exclusively on the Suns Radio Network. He has been awarded by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and inducted into the Phoenix Suns Ring of Honor. On March 2, 2022 he was further celebrated by the team with "Al McCoy Night", "Al McCoy Day" later officially proclaimed by Mayor of Phoenix Kate Gallego for April 10, 2022, both dates in honor of his 50th season with the Phoenix Suns. For 50 consecutive seasons (barring remote broadcasts during the pandemic) Al McCoy's official arena broadcast location was courtside, adjacent to the Suns players' home bench, as recent as May 2022. He stopped broadcasting road games in 2019 due to difficult vantage points at higher locations in other NBA arenas limiting his preferred style of descriptive play-by-play. On October 2, 2022, ahead of his ongoing 51st season as the Voice of the Suns, his broadcast position was moved higher up in the arena, closer to the skybox-area of the Footprint Center. Other Media The current TV announcers for Bally Sports Arizona are Kevin Ray and former Sun Eddie Johnson, rotating with Ann Meyers-Drysdale. Eddie Johnson has been the Suns TV analyst since 2000, paired initially with Al McCoy before the separation of media formats. On KMVP-FM Arizona Sports 98.7 and the Suns Radio Network, former Sun Tim Kempton serves as analyst, while Jon Bloom handles radio play-by-play for away/road games not broadcast by McCoy. In October 2008, the Phoenix Suns, along with partnered advertising agencies, were honored with 12 Emmy awards by the Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. An Emmy was also awarded in 2008 for the team's official online fan community. The site was produced by Suns VP of Interactive Services Jeramie McPeek and powered by technology from social media application developer KickApps.
