Angels move on from longtime broadcaster Patrick O’Neal after 13 seasons

Patrick O'Neal, who has spent the past 13 seasons as an announcer on Los Angeles Angels television broadcasts, will no longer continue with the club, the team announced Wednesday, May 13.

O'Neal, 58, rotated on play-by-play duties with primary TV voice Wayne Randazzo and also hosted pre- and postgame hosting duties on Angels broadcasts. He's also part of the Los Angeles Kings' hockey broadcasts.

"The Angels organization would like to thank Patrick O’Neal for his 13 years of dedication to the Angels broadcast team," the club said in a statement. "He brought a sense of pride to each telecast, something that was felt by Angels fans watching at home."

In a statement posted to X, O'Neal stated, "Thank you to the Angels for the amazing broadcast opportunities. I cherish every moment and every friend I made. It’s the great people I will miss the most. Chopping it up talking baseball with some of the best to ever do it. It will be hard to replace that. Go Halos!"

The Angels enter Wednesday 16-27, tied for the worst record in baseball, and are on track for their 11th consecutive losing season. In March, the club announced that longtime executive Molly Jolly would succeed John Carpino, a longtime confidante of owner Arte Moreno, as club president.

O'Neal twice won LA Area Emmy Awards and has been nominated six times. He's the son of Academy Award nominee Ryan O'Neal, who passed away at 82 in 2023, and half-brother of actress Tatum O'Neal.
