The Cleveland Guardians Radio Network is an American radio network composed of 39 radio stations for the Cleveland Guardians, a professional baseball team in Major League Baseball (MLB). Cleveland sister stations WTAM and WMMS serve as the network's two flagships;[1] WTAM also relays its signal over a low-power FM translator. The network also includes 26 affiliates in the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York: seventeen AM stations, eleven of which supplement their signals with low-power FM translators, eight full-power FM stations and one HD Radio subchannel that supplements its signal with a low-power FM translator.[2]
Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus currently serve as the network's play-by-play announcers.[3] [4] [5] In addition to traditional over-the-air AM and FM broadcasts, network programming airs on SiriusXM satellite radio; and streams online via SiriusXM Internet Radio, TuneIn Premium, and MLB.com Gameday Audio.[6]
In May 15, 1948, the first broadcast happened at Cleveland Municipal Stadium where the then-Indians met the Chicago White Sox where broadcaster Van Patrick called the game where the Indians won 7-1.[7]
Play-by-play announcers Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus call games on-site. Rosenhaus hosts Guardians Warm-Up, the network pregame show; and Hamilton hosts Guardians Wrap-Up, the network postgame show; both shows typically run 30 minutes each.
Additional network programming includes the following:
