Packer out at CBS, to end Final Four run after 34 years
(ESPN.com) - Billy Packer's streak of Final Fours is over after 34 years.
Packer, a color commentator, will be replaced in CBS' coverage by analyst Clark Kellogg.
"With his unquestioned popularity and performance over the years, Clark Kellogg earned all rights to this top spot," Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports, said in a statement Monday. "Like Billy Packer, Al McGuire or any of the most highly regarded broadcasters, Clark is an original voice with his own style and perspective."
Packer, 68, will leave CBS after 27 years to pursue "other projects in basketball," according to The Miami Herald.
