Chiefs PA Voice Dale Carter Resigns After 16 Years Over Third-Down Call Dispute

Carter says a directive to hand off his trademark third-down call crossed a “red line.”

Overview

  • Carter announced his immediate resignation on September 11–12 after learning on September 9 that another PA staffer would take over the third-down call.
  • He said production partner 65 TPT Productions had pushed changes since last postseason, culminating in the request he refused.
  • Nate Rohr has succeeded Carter and handled the microphone for the September 14 home opener, a 20–17 loss to the Eagles.
  • Carter noted he never missed a game in 16 seasons and initially hoped to exit without detailing the dispute.
  • He plans to focus on family, his radio show and podcast, and a 2026 bid for Jackson County Legislature, while outlets report the Chiefs have not issued a detailed response.
