Orsillo signs multiyear extension with NESN

Don Orsillo, the voice of the Red Sox on NESN since 2001, has agreed to a multiyear contract extension with the cable network and will continue as the main play-by-play announcer on the team's television broadcasts.

''Don has established himself as one of the best announcers in the game and an important part of our award winning Red Sox broadcast team,'' said NESN president Sean McGrail. ''We are thrilled that Don has agreed to continue with NESN and look forward to more of the outstanding play-by-play that Red Sox Nation has come to expect.''

Orsillo, who was the Pawtucket Red Sox's main announcer before joining NESN, has won two New England Emmy Awards for sports play-by-play and was named the 2005 Massachusetts sportscaster of the year.
