The Cleveland Guardians are currently heard on the radio via flagship sister stations WTAM (1100AM/106.9FM) and WMMS (100.7 FM),[1][2] with Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus comprising the announcing team.[3] Fellow sister station WARF (1350 AM) - while primarily an English language station - airs Spanish broadcasts of home games to complement the flagship coverage, with Rafa Hernández-Brito as the primary announcer, and former Indian Carlos Baerga on commentary (Octavio Sequera fills in when Brito calls Cleveland Cavaliers Spanish radio broadcasts).

^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]
^Four radio stations simultaneously covered the June 28, 1946, Indians game, which occurred shortly after the purchase of the team by Bill Veeck.
^WGAR would carry Indians play-by-play for the remainder of the season.[20]: 167–168
^Game coverage began on May 5, 1944, due to difficulty securing a sponsorship.[25]
^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]
^Jack Graney replaced Ellis Vander Pyl as play-by-play voice for WHK several games into the 1932 season.[40]
^Select home games were only covered by WTAM from 1929 to 1931, as Tom Manning also served as a field announcer at League Park.
