Harry Kalas called Phillies games on the radio and television broadcasts from 1971 until his death in 2009.

The Philadelphia Phillies Radio Network is a network of 21 radio stations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey that air Major League Baseball games of the Philadelphia Phillies.[1] The lead announcers are Scott Franzke with play-by-play and Larry Andersen with color commentary.[2] The flagship station is WIP-FM 94.1 in Philadelphia. The broadcasts were discontinued on the former AM flagship station WPHT 1210 in 2016 (both stations share the same ownership and the move from WPHT was done to reduce pre-emptions of its talk radio schedule).[3]

WTTM in Lindenwold, New Jersey and WWAC in Atlantic City, New Jersey also air a separate broadcast in Spanish. Oscar Budejen is the play by play announcer, while Bill Kulik provides color commentary.[4]
