List of Cleveland Guardians broadcasters

The Cleveland Guardians are currently heard on the radio via flagship sister stations WTAM ( and ) and WMMS ,[1][2] with Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus comprising the announcing team.[3] While primarily an English-language outlet, WTAM/WMMS sister station WARF serves as the team's Spanish-language flagship, airing broadcasts of all home games with the announcing team of Rafa Hernández-Brito and Carlos Baerga.[4]

Televised game coverage airs on Guardians TV, which launched for the 2025 season both as a cable network and as a streaming service. Matt Underwood handles play-by-play, Rick Manning is lead analyst (with Chris Gimenez filling in occasionally) and Andre Knott is the field reporter.[5] WKYC channel 3 airs 10 over-the-air simulcasts of Guardians TV-produced games per season.[6]

Years are listed in descending order.[7]
