Michael Araujo was chosen to succeed the late David Courtney as the public-address announcer for Angels home games on Tuesday.

Araujo, a Rancho Cucamonga resident, was previously the public-address announcer at Galaxy home games at the Home Depot Center.

Courtney, the voice of the Angels for the last 18 years, died on Nov. 29, 2012 of a pulmonary embolism. He was also the voice of the Kings and Clippers at Staples Center.
