We are both proud and honored to have him on our team at 670 The Score and Entercom Chicago," said Entercom Chicago Senior VP/Market Manager Jimmy de Castro.

"For more than two decades, Pat has brought Cubs games to life for our fans as the radio voice of the Cubs," added Chicago Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney. "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."

Hughes was named the Illinois Sportscaster of the Year eight times.
