Finding out where to listen to a Yankees game on the radio depends on a few factors, primarily your location and the specific game. There isn't one single station that broadcasts every Yankees game across the entire country. Let's break down how to find the right station for you.
What are the main radio broadcasters for the Yankees?
The primary radio broadcaster for New York Yankees games is WFAN (660 AM) in New York City. This is the flagship station and the one you'll likely hear the most comprehensive coverage on, including pre- and post-game shows. However, WFAN's reach is primarily within the New York metropolitan area.
How can I find a Yankees game on the radio outside of the New York area?
If you're outside the New York metropolitan area, your options are a bit more limited. You might find Yankees games on:
-
MLB.com: MLB.com often offers radio broadcasts of games online through their app or website, even those not broadcast locally. This is a great option if you're located far from New York or if your local radio doesn't carry the game.
-
Satellite Radio: SiriusXM often carries Yankees games on their MLB channels. This requires a satellite radio subscription.
-
Local Affiliates: While less common, some radio stations outside the New York area might carry select Yankees games as part of their programming. Check your local radio listings or their websites for schedules.
What if the game is blacked out in my area?
MLB radio broadcasts often have blackouts in the local market of the team playing. If you are in or near New York City, you might not face blackout restrictions for Yankees games on WFAN, but if you are in the broadcast area of the opposing team, you might find the game blacked out on your local radio, and only available on MLB.com or satellite radio (with a subscription).
Are there any other ways to listen to the Yankees game?
Yes! Beyond traditional radio, you have several alternatives:
-
MLB App: The official MLB app often streams games live (subject to blackouts).
-
Other Streaming Services: Some streaming services might offer radio broadcasts as well.
How can I find the specific radio station for a particular game?
The best approach is to:
- Check the Yankees official website: Their schedule usually lists the radio broadcast information for each game.
- Consult your local radio listings: If you're in a specific area, consult your local radio station listings (often found online or in newspapers) to see if a game is being broadcast.
Remember to check for specific blackout restrictions, and always respect copyright laws. Enjoy the game!
