List of Cleveland Guardians broadcasters explained

right|150pxThe Cleveland Guardians are currently heard on the radio via flagship sister stations WTAM (/) and WMMS (100.7 FM),[1] [2] with Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus comprising the announcing team.[3] Fellow sister station WARF (1350 AM) - while primarily an English language station - airs Spanish broadcasts of home games to complement the flagship coverage, with Rafa Hernández-Brito as the primary announcer, and former Indian Carlos Baerga on commentary (Octavio Sequera fills in when Brito calls Cleveland Cavaliers Spanish radio broadcasts). [4]

Televised game coverage airs on Bally Sports Great Lakes, with select games simulcast over-the-air on WKYC (channel 3).[5] Matt Underwood handles television play-by-play duties, former Indian Rick Manning serves as analyst (with former Indian Chris Gimenez filling in occasionally), and Andre Knott is the field reporter.

Years are listed in descending order.[6]
