The Cleveland Indians and Clear Channel have reached an
agreement on a five-year contract that will allow the long-time flagship
station of the team to carry games through 2017.
Newsradio WTAM 1100 will continue to be your home for the
Cleveland Indians for at least the next five years. However WMMS 100.7 FM— the flagship station of the Cleveland Browns — will reportedly
simulcast 144 games over the course of each season, leaving any mid-day broadcasts
to air solely on AM station.
As recent as this past October, Clear Channel was in a
bidding war for the Indians’ broadcast rights as CBS’ upstart sports talk
station 92.3 The Fan was reportedly
making a hard push.
Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus will remain as announcers. This will be Hamilton’s 24th season with the team.
