Wraparound coverage

Pre-game

Coverage begins 20 minutes before game time with 2 segments. The first is The Jim Leyland Show, a brief pre-recorded one-on-one interview with Tigers manager Jim Leyland by Dan Dickerson. The second is From the Field, a brief interview with another Tigers coach or a player (or occasionally, people who have nothing to do with the game itself), hosted by Jim Price.

Post-game

Post-game coverage includes a game wrap up, either by Price or WXYT's Jeff Riger, scores from around the major leagues by Dickerson, and a preview of the next game.

Flagship stations

The flagship stations are WXYT 1270 AM and WXYT-FM 97.1 FM in Detroit. If the Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons or Detroit Red Wings are playing at the same time, only WXYT-AM serves as the flagship for the Tigers.

Announcers

Dan Dickerson does play-by-play on the broadcasts and former Tiger catcher Jim Price does color commentary.[2]

History and former broadcasters

  • Before merging with WXYT-FM, WXYT-AM was the sole flagship station from 2001-2007.
  • From 1964-2000, the Tigers' flagship station was Detroit's WJR. As a maximum power clear-channel station, WJR could be heard carrying Tigers games from hundreds of miles away on warm, clear nights.
  • Other former Tigers flagships include WWJ, WJBK (currently known as WLQV) and WKMH (currently known as WDTW).
  • The Tigers' most famous announcer is Ford C. Frick Award winning broadcaster Ernie Harwell, who called Tigers games mostly on the radio from 1960-2002. The press box at Comerica Park is named The Ernie Harwell Media Center in his honor, and a statue of him stands near the main gate of the stadium.
