“Pat is the eyes and ears for so many Cubs fans both in Chicago and worldwide,” Jimmy deCastro, senior vice president and market manager of Entercom Chicago, said in a statement. “We are thrilled he will continue as the radio voice for multiple years to come.”

Hughes was named the Illinois Sportscaster of the Year eight times — in 1996, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2014, 2015 and 2017.

Crane Kenney, president of business operations for the Cubs, said: “For more than two decades, Pat has brought Cubs games to life for our fans as the radio voice of the Cubs. He has delivered countless monumental play-by-play calls from walk-off victories to no-hitters and of course, our 2016 World Series win. We look forward to Pat continuing to make history with our team and deliver many more memorable moments for our fans.”
