CCM+E Wins MLB Indians Broadcast Rights

Games To Air On Iconic WMMS FM

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.
