David Steele, the longtime play-by-play voice of the Orlando Magic, has announced his retirement after 37 seasons of calling games on television and radio. He began with the Magic in 1989 as the radio voice, later moving to television in 1998, and he became a defining sound for generations of fans, including celebrated calls that became part of franchise memory. The team and its ownership praised Steele for his professionalism, character, and the way his voice helped frame the Magic’s history. Dante Marchitelli has been tapped to take over full-time play-by-play duties, following Steele’s departure, and Steele thanked the organization and family for the opportunity. Steele’s retirement is being framed as the end of an era for the Magic, who inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 2019 and noted his lasting impact on the franchise. The retirement was announced across multiple outlets and accompanied by reflections on a career that shaped how fans experienced Orlando Magic basketball.
