Further information: Cleveland Guardians Radio Network

The Cleveland Guardians are currently heard on the radio via flagship sister stations WTAM (1100 AM and 106.9 FM) and WMMS (100.7 FM),^[1][2] with Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus comprising the announcing team.^[3] While primarily an English-language station, WARF (1350 AM) airs Spanish-language broadcasts of all home games with the announcing team of Rafa Hernández-Brito and Carlos Baerga; Octavio Sequera fills in when Brito calls Cleveland Cavaliers Spanish radio broadcasts.^[4]

Televised game coverage airs exclusively on the team's streaming video on demand service, Guardians TV, which launched for the 2025 season. Matt Underwood handles play-by-play, Rick Manning is lead analyst (with Chris Gimenez filling in occasionally) and Andre Knott is the field reporter. While primarily a streaming service, Guardians TV is also carried on cable systems throughout Northeast Ohio.^[5] WKYC provides ten over-the-air simulcasts of Guardians TV-produced games per season.^[6]

5. WERE became WJMO in 2007.
6. WJW became WRMR in 1985 and WKNR in 2001.
7. The majority of regular season games in 1948 originated over WJW-FM, which in turn fed a statewide network of stations.^[17][18] WJW had arranged ABC Radio commitments prior to the season's start under the presumption that afternoon games would start at 3 p.m.,^[19]: 95 but start times were abruptly moved to 2 p.m. with little advance notice.^[20] WJW carried the one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox after team owner Bill Veeck prohibited WHK from carrying Mutual's nationwide network coverage.^[21]: 168 WJW carried all games during the 1949 season after resolving all network commitments.^[22]
8. Four radio stations simultaneously covered the June 28, 1946, Indians game, which occurred shortly after the purchase of the team by Bill Veeck.
9. WGAR would carry Indians play-by-play for the remainder of the season.^{[21]: 167–168}
10. Game coverage began on May 5, 1944, due to difficulty securing a sponsorship.^[26]

13. Select home games were only covered by WTAM from 1929 to 1931, as Tom Manning also served as a field announcer at League Park.
