every 2021 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**
In its 28th season with the team, and 11th as the exclusive local
TV home of the Cardinals, **Bally Sports Midwest **(rebranding from FOX Sports Midwest)
is scheduled to carry 151 regular season games this season.  Bally Sports Midwest
will continue to produce _Cardinals Live_ pre- and postgame shows for every regular
season telecast, live from the network’s studio in Ballpark Village.  Play-by-play

for consumers who authenticate through their pay-TV service. The app and web site
will launch in coordination with the network rebrand on March 31. The FOX Sports
GO app will update to the new Bally Sports app upon the rebrand.

Currently, nine regular season games will be carried exclusively on either ESPN,
FOX (aired locally on KTVI) or FS1 as part of Major League Baseball’s national television
packages, with another four ESPN games scheduled to co-exist with the local Bally
Sports Midwest telecast.  Two games have not been scheduled, but will be televised
nationally or carried locally on Bally Sports Midwest.  The television schedule 
is subject to change.

**Radio**
In addition to televised game coverage, **KMOX 1120 AM**, the team’s flagship
radio station, and most stations on the **Cardinals Radio Network**, will carry 
every regular season game.  New for 2021, Cardinals games will be simulcast locally
on 98.7 FM.

Broadcasters Mike Shannon (50th and final season) and John Rooney (16th season) 
will again share the Cardinals radio calls at home. Mike will call approximately
50 home games, while Ricky Horton will continue to join John Rooney behind the microphone
for all Cardinals road games and the remaining home games. Mike Claiborne returns
to assist with broadcasts while [Tom Acker](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/ackerto01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-)
man, Kevin Wheeler and Joe Pott will serve as pre- and postgame hosts on KMOX. This
year marks KMOX’s 11th consecutive season as the flagship station and 64th year 
overall. The Cardinals Radio Network consists of 145 radio stations in eight states
and is the largest radio network in MLB.

**Spanish Radio**
The Cardinals, in cooperation with **WIJR 880 AM** La Tremenda,
will produce 81 Spanish-language radio broadcasts for all St. Louis home games during
the 2021 season. 

Play-by-play announcer Polo Ascencio and color analyst Bengie Molina will return
for their sixth season to provide Hispanic and Latino fans with a way to follow 
the Cardinals in their native language. All 81 broadcasts will air locally on WIJR
880 AM and be streamed via [cardinals.com](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fcardinals.com&umid=22cfbc06-4e92-422a-b7e4-774e29914a55&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-250c052f81a9c013b8ae11e1d0ce5be8e453035d)
