Cleveland Indians Radio Network

The Cleveland Indians Radio Network is an American radio network composed of 29 radio stations which carry English-language coverage of the Cleveland Indians, a professional baseball team in Major League Baseball (MLB). Cleveland sister stations WTAM (1100 AM) and WMMS (100.7 FM) serve as the network's two flagships; WTAM also relays its signal over a low-power FM translator. The network also includes 28 affiliates in the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York: nineteen AM stations, twelve of which supplement their signals with low-power FM translators; eight full-power FM stations; and one HD Radio digital subchannel which supplements its signal with a low-power FM translator. Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus currently serve as the network's play-by-play announcers.[1][2][3][4] 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.[5][6][7]

History

Programming

Play-by-play announcers Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus call games on-site. Rosenhaus hosts Indians Warm-Up, the network pregame show; and Hamilton hosts Indians Wrap-Up, the network postgame show; both shows typically run 30 minutes each.

Additional network programming includes the following:

  • Indians Update, a daily drive-time segment anchored by Rosenhaus
  • Tribe Talk, a weekly year-round show hosted by Rosenhaus; airs on Saturday evenings
  • Hot Stove Weekly, a weekly off-season show

Note that not all network affiliates carry the latter two programs; co-flagship WTAM carries all originated network programming.
