Toronto Blue Jays Radio Network
The Toronto Blue Jays Radio Network consists of 20 stations (16 AM, 4 FM) in 7 Canadian provinces broadcasting the team's games in English.
At the start of the 2021 season, the radio broadcasts consisted of a simulcast of the audio from the Sportsnet television broadcasts of Blue Jays games, featuring play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman and colour analysts Buck Martinez and Pat Tabler, with Rob Wong and Shoaib Ali serve as on-air hosts.[1][2] The simulcasts continued through the end of July, after which a dedicated radio broadcast was used with Ben Wagner calling play-by-play. From 2018 to 2020, the radio team consisted of play-by-play announcers Wagner and Mike Wilner. Wagner succeeded longtime radio announcer Jerry Howarth following the latter's retirement, while former radio analyst Joe Siddall moved to the television pregame show.
During its all-sports era from 2007 to 2011, Montreal station CKAC broadcast some games in French.
