ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Cardinals today announced that every 2019 regular-season game will be televised locally or nationally as well as broadcast on the Cardinals Radio Network. Additionally, nearly one-third of the games will be produced as Spanish radio broadcasts.
In its 26th season with the team and its ninth as the exclusive local TV home of the Cardinals, FOX Sports Midwest is scheduled to carry 150 regular-season games this season. Each of the 150 telecasts will also be streamed live on the FOX Sports GO app and at FOXSportsGO.com. FOX Sports Midwest will continue to produce the Cardinals Live pregame and postgame shows for every regular-season telecast live from the network’s studio in Ballpark Village. FOX Sports Midwest will also continue to air Cardinals Insider, the club-produced weekly news magazine television show, throughout the season beginning Sunday, March 17.
Dan McLaughlin, Jim Edmonds, Ricky Horton, Tim McCarver and Brad Thompson will call game action. Jim Hayes, Al Hrabosky, Scott Warmann and Erica Weston will serve as reporters and/or hosts for Cardinals Live.
Currently, five regular-season games are scheduled to be carried exclusively as part of Major League Baseball’s national television packages with FOX (aired locally on KTVI), FS1 and ESPN. In addition, seven games have not been scheduled but will be televised nationally or carried locally on FOX Sports Midwest. The schedule is subject to change based on future national television selections.
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. Broadcasters Mike Shannon (48th season) and John Rooney (14th season) will again share all the Cardinals highlights on the radio at home. Ricky Horton will continue to join John Rooney to call all Cardinals road games. Mike Claiborne will also assist with broadcasts while Tom Ackerman, Chris Hrabe and Alex Ferrario will serve as pregame and postgame hosts on KMOX.
