The Atlanta Braves Radio Network is a 138-station network (97 AM, 41 FM outlets) heard across 10 states & one territory of the Southeastern United States that airs Major League Baseball games of the Atlanta Braves. The flagship stations are WCNN and WNNX in Atlanta, Georgia. The announcers are Jim Powell and Don Sutton, who alternate as play-by-play and color commentary announcers.[1] Ben Ingram serves as pregame/postgame host and occasionally fills in on play-by-play. Former known long-time announcers include Pete van Wieren, Ernie Johnson, Sr. and Skip Caray, the latter two of whom are now deceased. The producer and board operator for Braves Network broadcasts is Brian "Grandma" Giffin. The Atlanta Braves Radio Network has the most affiliates of any team in Major League Baseball.[2] This is due to the large geographic span of the Braves' territory. The nearest teams to the north of Atlanta are the Cincinnati Reds, Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles. The nearest teams to the west are the St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros and Texas Rangers, while the nearest teams to the south are the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins in Florida.
