From 2007 through 2019, Marty Brennaman and Jeff Brantley served as the network's primary play-by-play announcers. Brennaman announced in January 2019 that he would retire at the end of the 2019 season, his 46th calling Reds games.[1] He broadcast his final Reds game on September 26, 2019.[2] Brennaman was replaced by Tommy Thrall beginning with the 2020 season. Thrall had begun calling some games during the 2018 season, alternating with Brennaman and Brantley. Thom Brennaman, Marty's son, also does occasional radio play-by-play in addition to calling television broadcasts for the Reds on Fox Sports Ohio.
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.[3][4][5] Cincinnati Bell has naming rights of the network.
