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][7]

History

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.[8]

Programming

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.[3]

Additional network programming includes the following:

  • Guardians Update, a daily drive-time segment anchored by Rosenhaus
  • Guardians Weekly, a weekly year-round show hosted by Rosenhaus; airs on Saturday evenings

Note that not all network affiliates carry the latter two programs; co-flagship WTAM carries all originated network programming.[3]
