  3. 1 2 3 WXEL-TV became WJW-TV in 1955, WJKW in 1977, back to WJW-TV in 1985 and WJW in 1998.

  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. [16] [17] WJW had arranged ABC Radio commitments prior to the season's start under the presumption that afternoon games would start at 3 p.m., [18] :95 but start times were abruptly moved to 2 p.m. with little advance notice. [19] 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. [20] :168 WJW carried all games during the 1949 season after resolving all network commitments. [21]
  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. [20] :167–168
  10. Game coverage began on May 5, 1944, due to difficulty securing a sponsorship. [25]
  11. A daytime-only station, WCLE broadcast all afternoon games while co-owned WHK carried all night games. [26] WCLE relocated to Akron, Ohio, as WHKK after the 1944 season ended. [23] [27]
  12. Jack Graney replaced Ellis Vander Pyl as play-by-play voice for WHK several games into the 1932 season. [40]
  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.
