The Reds on Radio Update
At the same time we got the Reds on Fox Sports Ohio schedule we learned that the Reds would broadcast 30 of the 33 games this spring. C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic noted earlier today that the three that won’t be broadcasts will be the three road games that take place this spring when the Reds are playing split-squad games. The home games will be available on either 700 WLW, Fox Sports 1360, or Reds.com. The road games will not be available.
And as a reminder, here is the crew that will be calling the games this year on radio and/or television:
- Jeff Brantley
- Thom Brennaman
- Marty Brennaman
- Jim Day
- Doug Flynn
- Brian Giesenschlag
- George Grande

- Chris Welsh
I get excited every year for spring training. I am a huge fan of baseball and an even bigger fan of the Reds. I have to admit thought, it has been a long time since I have been this excited about the impending season and what it could bring. A lot of people I know are upset they did not continue to spend and fill a few more pieces. I am not in that camp. I know we have what it takes and if we are in the hunt we have the $$ in the bank to go out and get any pieces we need for the second half of the season. #GO REDS! #BIG RED MACHINE 2019!!!!!
