List of Cleveland Indians broadcasters

The Cleveland Indians are currently heard on the radio on flagship station WTAM 1100 AM (with select games on WMMS 100.7 FM). Prior to their switch to WTAM, the team was heard on WKNR from 1992 to 1998, and on WWWE—currently WTAM—from 1973 to 1991. Tom Hamilton handles play-by-play, with analysis by Mike Hegan, and pregame host/producer/engineer Jim Rosenhaus calls three innings per game as well (Hegan usually skips long road trips, in those cases Rosenhaus works the full game with Hamiltion).

On the television side, the club signed a multi-year deal in December 2005 to broadcast 20 games per year on WKYC Channel 3, with the bulk of the remaining games aired on SportsTime Ohio (STO), a new cable outlet owned by team owner Larry Dolan (The 20 WKYC games also air on STO via simulcast). The games previously aired exclusively on FSN Ohio. Matt Underwood handles the TV play-by-play duties with former Indian Rick Manning serving as analyst. Al Pawlowski hosts the pregame and postgame shows on STO, and fills in for Underwood on play-by-play for 10-12 games per year. In 2011, former Indians 1B and manager Mike Hargrove will join the broadcasting team, serving as an analyst for select games, and Katie Witham will serve as field reporter during home games.

Years are listed in descending order.

Notes

• ¹: WJW-AM became WRMR in 1985, and was vacated for WKNR in 2001. The majority of games in the 1948 and 1949 season were covered on its FM sister station, WJW-FM, due to the AM station's programming commitments with ABC Radio. Due to this, a statewide radio network was soon established, and more FM radio sets sold in Cleveland than in any other market in the country in 1948 [1]. WJW-FM became WCJW in 1965, and WQAL in 1972.
• ²: WXEL-TV became WJW-TV in 1955, WJKW in 1977, and back to WJW in 1985.
• ³: WGAR became WKNR in 1990; currently home to WHKW.

• *: Select home games were only covered by WTAM from 1929 to 1931, as Tom Manning also served as a field announcer at League Park.
• **: Jack Graney replaced Ellis Vander Pyl as play-by-play voice for WHK several games into the 1932 season.
• ***: Four radio stations simultaneously covered the June 28, 1946 Indians game, which occurred shortly after the purchase of the team by Bill Veeck. Permanent play-by-play was established at that point, with the games going to WGAR.

• WWWE later became WTAM, when the station returned to their original call letters in 1996 (WTAM 1923-1956; KYW 1956-1965; WKYC 1965-1972; WWWE 1972-1996; WTAM 1996–Present).
• WERE switched frequencies with current sister station WJMO on June 3, 2007.
