Boston Red Sox Radio Network
The Red Sox Radio Network consists of 77 stations (50 A.M., 26 F.M. and 1 F.M. translator) in the six New England states, along with Florida, New York, and Wyoming.[1] The English language announcers are Joe Castiglione, Dave O'Brien, and Jon Rish. [2] Additionally, there is a 3-station Spanish-language network (all AM) with affiliates in italics. This brings the total number of stations carrying Red Sox baseball to 80. The Red Sox Radio Network specifically refers to the English-language network originating at WEEI. The Spanish Network is called the Spanish Beisbol Network.
Shaw's Supermarkets, a grocery store chain which serves much of New England, is the primary promotional sponsor of Red Sox' English-language radio broadcasts. Thus, the announcers refer to the "Shaw's WEEI Red Sox Radio Network" when entering into commercial spot breaks during the broadcast.
