The simulcasts began in the second season, so 1967-68 is the year in question.
in 67-68 KPLR did 11 tv games, 1 home and 10 away with Jay Randolph pbp and Bob Ingham color
on KMOX radio, Jack Buck did pbp, but between NFL football, some illness, and then leaving for Cardinals spring training, he missed quite a few games, being replaced by Jay Randolph, Gus Kyle working alone, Stu Nahan and Gene Hart (probably among others)
the 68-69 and 69-70 simulcasts were unusual in the sense that while Kelly's pbp was on both, Gus Kyle's comments were on KMOX only, and Hal Kelly did tv color (in addition to filling in for his brother on pbp on occasion)
Noel Picard was the primary radio/tv analyst in 73-74 and 74-75, with Kyle returning in 75-76; while Picard was the analyst, Kyle filled in as pbp when needed. Otherwise there are the following corrections regarding the PRIMARY crews:
color:
Gus Kyle 76-83
Bill Wilkerson 83-84
Ron Oakes 84-85

Here is the list that I was able to come up with. I was fortunate enough to talk to Ken Wilson, Bruce Affleck, Rick Francis, Kent Westling, Eli Gold, and Susie Mathieu to find out what they could remember. Some interesting info they gave me. Eli Gold did a separate TV feed in 1979-80 and mostly did games by himself but did have some injured players serve as analysts when available. The year before, the Blues still had a simulcast when games were on KDNL-TV. But with those games, only Dan Kelly's voice was heard. Kent Westling would talk with Dan Kelly on camera before the game and during the intermission, but was not heard on the radio. Now there were a few times when Kelly was "on assignment" and there was a separate TV feed with Westling doing the play-by-play and Bob Plager serving as analyst. The 78-79 season was one of two season (1984-85 being the other) where there were not set analysts on broadcasts. Once Ken Wilson arrived on the scene, Kelly and Wilson were the team for TV games. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask Ken Wilson who served as analyst in 1984-85 on TV games when Kelly was absent. In fact, Wilson's first TV game in 84-85 had to have been with someone other than Kelly since that was a night that USA also had a game. I'm guessing it was not a KMOX staffer, however. Also, Rick Francis was a regular anaylst and not a fill-in for two seasons. At the time, Kyle was in the insurance business was unable to make it to everygame, particularly on the road. And when Kyle was available, there were three in the both, but Francis said he basically let Kyle do all the talking. In 1988-89 during Kelly's illness and eventually death, there were many different combinations used. In fact, one game KPLR used a split feed be cause Wilson and John Kelly were not available and they did not want Ron Jacober on a TV game. Rich Gould told me he did the play-by-play for one game with Bruce Affleck. I do not know who worked the same game on KMOX with Jacober, though.
I have a couple questions for the poster I'm quoting. Are you sure Gus Kyle did play-by-play? I find it somewhat hard to believe, but since I was not around at the time, I'm not certain. I'd think it would be so brutal that they would've found someone else to fill-in. Also, is the Jim White you have mentioned the same one referred to as the "Big Bumper" who had a late night program on KMOX? I also find it hard to believe that he would've done NHL play-by-play. I have found nothing on him showing any sort of a sports broadcasting background, but he indeed started at KMOX in 1969. Once again, that's before my time so I'm not certain. Finally, where did you get the info on the other fill-in guys from the 1960's and 1970's, particularly Stu Nahan and Gene Hart in 1967-68. I have not been able to find any information going back that far. And it doesn't help since the main guys at the time (Kelly and Kyle) are no longer with us. Didn't Hal Kelly fill-in for his brother more than just the 1969-70 season, I would have thought so? I can't find info on that. Also I believe I remeber Larry Patey and Mike Zuke filling in on one Telecast each in the early 90's, but neither could remember exactly the year, but I know they both worked with Kelly and had that plain blue background during the broadcast opening.

Here's what I was able to find during the 1968 playoffs. It appears that games were sent to WIBV for the entire playoffs with the exception of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. However there was an ad for one game saying KMOX would join the Blues game in the third period. Looking at the radio listings, KMOX didn't even air playoff games on days when the Cardinals didn't play which seemed interesting. Another interesting scenario is on 4/13. Game 5 of the Flyers series was played at Philadelphia and could've been televised in St. Louis. However, Jay Randolph was covering the Master gold tournament for CBS-TV and there could not have broadcasted that game on TV. Unfortunately I couldn't confirm that this game was televised on KPLR. All of the other road games during the playoffs were.
I made a game-by-game list comparing who could've done the games under the perfect scenario. But as I mentioned with Kyle doing play-by-play in Game 7 of the Minnesota series and talk of Flyers broadcasters assisting with Blues broadcasts, things hardly went the way one would expect. I also did not take into account that Jack Buck could've done a Cardinals day game and then a Blues night game on the same day.

Here is the list that I was able to come up with. I was fortunate enough to talk to Ken Wilson, Bruce Affleck, Rick Francis, Kent Westling, Eli Gold, and Susie Mathieu to find out what they could remember. Some interesting info they gave me. Eli Gold did a separate TV feed in 1979-80 and mostly did games by himself but did have some injured players serve as analysts when available. The year before, the Blues still had a simulcast when games were on KDNL-TV. But with those games, only Dan Kelly's voice was heard. Kent Westling would talk with Dan Kelly on camera before the game and during the intermission, but was not heard on the radio. Now there were a few times when Kelly was "on assignment" and there was a separate TV feed with Westling doing the play-by-play and Bob Plager serving as analyst. The 78-79 season was one of two season (1984-85 being the other) where there were not set analysts on broadcasts. Once Ken Wilson arrived on the scene, Kelly and Wilson were the team for TV games. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask Ken Wilson who served as analyst in 1984-85 on TV games when Kelly was absent. In fact, Wilson's first TV game in 84-85 had to have been with someone other than Kelly since that was a night that USA also had a game. I'm guessing it was not a KMOX staffer, however. Also, Rick Francis was a regular anaylst and not a fill-in for two seasons. At the time, Kyle was in the insurance business was unable to make it to everygame, particularly on the road. And when Kyle was available, there were three in the both, but Francis said he basically let Kyle do all the talking. In 1988-89 during Kelly's illness and eventually death, there were many different combinations used. In fact, one game KPLR used a split feed be cause Wilson and John Kelly were not available and they did not want Ron Jacober on a TV game. Rich Gould told me he did the play-by-play for one game with Bruce Affleck. I do not know who worked the same game on KMOX with Jacober, though.
I have a couple questions for the poster I'm quoting. Are you sure Gus Kyle did play-by-play? I find it somewhat hard to believe, but since I was not around at the time, I'm not certain. I'd think it would be so brutal that they would've found someone else to fill-in. Also, is the Jim White you have mentioned the same one referred to as the "Big Bumper" who had a late night program on KMOX? I also find it hard to believe that he would've done NHL play-by-play. I have found nothing on him showing any sort of a sports broadcasting background, but he indeed started at KMOX in 1969. Once again, that's before my time so I'm not certain. Finally, where did you get the info on the other fill-in guys from the 1960's and 1970's, particularly Stu Nahan and Gene Hart in 1967-68. I have not been able to find any information going back that far. And it doesn't help since the main guys at the time (Kelly and Kyle) are no longer with us. Didn't Hal Kelly fill-in for his brother more than just the 1969-70 season, I would have thought so? I can't find info on that. Also I believe I remeber Larry Patey and Mike Zuke filling in on one Telecast each in the early 90's, but neither could remember exactly the year, but I know they both worked with Kelly and had that plain blue background during the broadcast opening.

Here's what I was able to find during the 1968 playoffs. It appears that games were sent to WIBV for the entire playoffs with the exception of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. However there was an ad for one game saying KMOX would join the Blues game in the third period. Looking at the radio listings, KMOX didn't even air playoff games on days when the Cardinals didn't play which seemed interesting. Another interesting scenario is on 4/13. Game 5 of the Flyers series was played at Philadelphia and could've been televised in St. Louis. However, Jay Randolph was covering the Master gold tournament for CBS-TV and there could not have broadcasted that game on TV. Unfortunately I couldn't confirm that this game was televised on KPLR. All of the other road games during the playoffs were.
I made a game-by-game list comparing who could've done the games under the perfect scenario. But as I mentioned with Kyle doing play-by-play in Game 7 of the Minnesota series and talk of Flyers broadcasters assisting with Blues broadcasts, things hardly went the way one would expect. I also did not take into account that Jack Buck could've done a Cardinals day game and then a Blues night game on the same day.

St Louis Blues tv in 1967-68 was done by Jay Randolph and Bob Ingham; simulcasts started in 1970-71 and continued thru 92-93
The simulcasts began in the second season, so 1967-68 is the year in question.
in 67-68 KPLR did 11 tv games, 1 home and 10 away with Jay Randolph pbp and Bob Ingham color
on KMOX radio, Jack Buck did pbp, but between NFL football, some illness, and then leaving for Cardinals spring training, he missed quite a few games, being replaced by Jay Randolph, Gus Kyle working alone, Stu Nahan and Gene Hart (probably among others)
the 68-69 and 69-70 simulcasts were unusual in the sense that while Kelly's pbp was on both, Gus Kyle's comments were on KMOX only, and Hal Kelly did tv color (in addition to filling in for his brother on pbp on occasion)
Noel Picard was the primary radio/tv analyst in 73-74 and 74-75, with Kyle returning in 75-76; while Picard was the analyst, Kyle filled in as pbp when needed. Otherwise there are the following corrections regarding the PRIMARY crews:
color:
Gus Kyle 76-83
Bill Wilkerson 83-84
Ron Oakes 84-85
Joe Micheletti 85-87 all games, 93-95 on televised games
Bruce Affleck 87-93
Ron Jacober 92-96 on non-tv games
Bernie Federko 95-current
primary radio pbp:
Jack Buck 67-68
Dan Kelly 68-89
Ken Wilson 88-89
Ken Wilson/John Kelly split 89-92
Ken Wilson 92-96
Ron Jacober tv games; Ken Wilson non tv games 96-97
Dan Kelly Jr tv games; Ken Wilson non tv games 97-00
Chris Kerber tv games; Ken Wilson non tv games 00-04
Chris Kerber 05-current
primary tv pbp:
same as above throu 96
Ken Wilson 96-04
John Kelly 05-current
probably no team has used as many back-ups; among others:
pbp:
69-70 Hal Kelly, Jim White
70-71 Gus Kyle, Jack Buck
71-72 Gus Kyle
72-73 Gus Kyle, Roy Storey
