Ann Carroll Canned

Everybody's favorite host is gone. Ann Carroll is no longer working with the Milwaukee Brewers. The following was posted on jsonline...

Jeff Grayson has been hired as host for "Brewers Live" pre- and post-game shows on FSN Wisconsin, the cable channel that produces and airs Milwaukee Brewers telecasts.

Grayson, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, replaces Ann Carroll, who has been the host of the shows on Brewers road games. Grayson has been a sports anchor for the last 12 years at KMSP-TV, the Fox affiliate in Minneapolis.

FSN Wisconsin management was not dissatisfied with Carroll's job, according to Brian Peterson, a spokesman for the regional cable network. He said Carroll was holding down the role until a permanent replacement could be found. Carroll's primary job is to handle a weekly Minnesota Vikings studio show and other Vikings reporting duties for the FSN regional that serves the state of Minnesota.

"The plan all along was to find someone to be that consistent face and we think we have found that with Jeff," Peterson said.

Grayson has worked at WITI-TV (Channel 6) as a sports producer and at WBAY-TV in Green Bay.

The roles of Craig Coshun and Davey Nelson remain the same on "Brewers Live" for all Brewers home games.

What a shame, no more Ann Carroll. I'm sure everyone in Wisconsin is very disappointed. She was a heck of a host known for her excellent execution and professionalism. One last time here's one of her memorable performances doing a Timberwolves post game show.
