Cavaliers Radio Network |
The Cleveland Cavaliers Radio Network is an American radio network composed of 27 radio stations which carry English-language coverage of the Cleveland Cavaliers, a professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Cleveland sister stations WTAM (1100 AM) and WMMS (100.7 FM) serve as the network's two flagships. The network also includes 25 affiliates in the U.S. states of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia: 17 AM stations, three of which supplement their signals with low-power FM translators; and 8 full-power FM stations. John Michael is the current play-by-play announcer, while Jim Chones serves as color analyst. 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 NBA League Pass Audio.
In 2008, longtime flagship WTAM signed a five-year contract extension with the Cavaliers through the 2013–14 season; in 2011, a Cavs spokesman stated there were "multiple years" remaining on the team's contract with WTAM, without specifying an end date. In 2014, WTAM owner iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel) announced a new "muti-year" contract with the team; this new arrangement also established simulcasts on WTAM sister station WMMS.
