The current flagship radio stations for the Detroit Tigers are WXYT, at 1270 AM, and WXYT-FM, at 97.1, both sports stations. Dan Dickerson (play-by-play) and former Tiger catcher Jim Price (analyst) are the radio announcers. The games are simulcast on both stations unless there is a conflict with Detroit Red Wings hockey.
The television rights are held by Fox Sports Net. Mario Impemba (play-by-play) and former big-leaguer Rod Allen (analyst) form the TV announcing team. Select games are shown on over-the-air TV, originating on FOX affiliate WJBK TV-2, with Impemba and Allen. Broadcast games are also carried on WNEM, Flint; WWMT Grand Rapids; WILX Lansing; and WUPW Toledo.
