The Baltimore Orioles Radio Network comprises 39 stations in five states and the District of Columbia. [1]
Beginning in 2022, the Orioles' flagship station is once again WBAL/1090 AM and is joined by sister station WIYY/97.9 FM; a game conflict with the Baltimore Ravens sees one station carrying the Orioles, and the other the Ravens. The contract is for six years. [2] Geoff Arnold, Brett Hollander, Melanie Newman and Scott Garceau are the Orioles' radio voices who are part of a rotation in which two broadcasters work each game. [3] All 162 regular-season baseball games are currently broadcast throughout the network.
