**ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 21, 2023 **– The St. Louis Cardinals today announced that
every 2023 regular season game will be televised locally or nationally as well as
broadcast on KMOX and the Cardinals Radio Network. Additionally, all 81 home games
will feature live Spanish radio broadcasts.

**Television**
**Bally Sports Midwest **will be the television home of the team 
for the 30th season. The regional sports network will televise most regular season
games. Coverage starts and ends with the _Cardinals Live_ pre- and postgame shows,
live from the network’s studio in Ballpark Village. **Chip Caray** begins his first
season as the play-by-play voice of Cardinals television broadcasts and will be 
joined by World Series champion **[Brad Thompson](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thompbr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br)**
and Cards Hall of Famer **[Jim Edmonds](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/edmonji01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br)**
as analysts to call game action. In addition, KMOX Sports Director & Anchor **Tom
Ackerman**, new to the Cards television team, will handle play-by-play duties for
eight games this season.

**Jim Hayes**, **Scott Warmann** and **Alexa Datt**, will serve as reporters and
hosts. Former Redbirds pitchers **[Al Hrabosky](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hraboal01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br)**,
in his 40th season as part of the Cards TV team, and **Ricky Horton** will serve
as pre- and postgame studio analysts, along with Edmonds and Thompson.

Bally Sports Midwest will also continue to air new episodes of _Cardinals Insider_,
the Emmy-nominated 30-minute weekly television program hosted by Hall of Famer **
[Ozzie Smith](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/smithoz01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br)**
each Sunday, and the weekly _Cardinals Kids Show_ with Fredbird and Brad Thompson
on Saturdays.

Bally Sports Midwest’s regular season coverage kicks off on Opening Day, Thursday,
March 30, with an expanded _Cardinals Live_ pregame beginning at 1:30 PM CT.

Cards programming on Bally Sports Midwest also streams on the Bally Sports app and
on [BallySports.com](http://BallySports.com) for fans who sign in with their pay-
TV login and password.

Currently, 10 regular season games will be carried exclusively on either FOX (6),
ESPN (2), Apple TV+ (1) or Peacock (1) as part of Major League Baseball’s national
television packages. The television schedule is subject to change.

**Radio**
In addition to televised game coverage, **KMOX 1120 AM**, the team’s flagship
radio station, and nearly all of the **Cardinals Radio Network **stations, will 
carry every regular season game. Games will also be simulcast locally on 98.7 FM
and stream on KMOX.com.

**John Rooney** (18th season in St. Louis, 52nd overall) will be accompanied in 
the booth by **Ricky Horton**, who will celebrate his 25th season as a team broadcaster,
for all Cards contests this year. **Mike Claiborne** returns for his 18th year as
part of the radio team to assist with broadcasts while **Tom Ackerman**, **Matt 
Pauley** and **Joe Pott** will serve as pre- and postgame hosts on KMOX.

This year marks KMOX’s 13th consecutive season as the flagship station and 66th 
year overall. The Cardinals Radio Network consists of 147 radio stations across 
eight states.

**Spanish Radio**
The team, in cooperation with **WIJR 880 AM** La Tremenda, will
once again produce Spanish-language radio broadcasts for all St. Louis home games
during the 2023 regular season.

Play-by-play announcer **Polo Ascencio** and former MLB catcher and World Series
champion **[Bengie Molina](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/molinbe01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br)**
return for their eighth season to provide Hispanic and Latino fans with a way to
follow the Cards in their native language. All 81 broadcasts, including the two-
game London Series against the Chicago Cubs, will air locally on WIJR 880 AM and
be streamed via [cardinals.com](http://cardinals.com) and the MLB app.

The organization has also established a new Cardinals Spanish Radio Network to expand
the reach of their Spanish radio broadcasts with four additional stations in Missouri(
KXOK 102.9 FM in St. Louis, KRHW 1520 AM / 98.9 FM in Sikeston, and KQMO 97.7 FM
in Shell Knob) and two stations in Indiana (WITZ 990 AM / 99.1 FM in Jasper). WIJR
880 AM will serve as the club’s flagship Spanish radio station.

This is really ashamed that most of the games are being televised thru Bally Midwest
since most streaming services and Dish have dropped them. Cardinals are losing a
lot of viewership thru Bally.

Hopefully MLB ends the blackout restrictions on their streaming service with Bally’s
bankruptcy announcement. It’s been reported that 4 teams will be on the service 
for free while they find new TV deals.

This is a crock! You can’t listen to the game on KMOX or any radio station without
going through Audicy and it costs!

MLB is a cash grab. They didn’t actively acknowledge the blackout policy on MLB.
TV (which they’ve gotten better at), tickets are so expensive, and you can’t listen
on the internet without paying. While game time is considered the issue, they don’t
look at the ability to get the average fan to watch/listen to games.
