The Los Angeles Dodgers Radio Network is a network of 26 radio stations that air Major League Baseball games of the Los Angeles Dodgers. As of June 2012[update], 20 stations broadcast games in English, while another six broadcast them in Spanish.[1] In 2013, Korean broadcasts were added.[2]

English[edit]
Vin Scully, who has broadcast Dodgers games since 1950, does play-by-play during Dodgers' locally-televised home games, along with road games in California and Arizona.[3] Unlike most baseball broadcasters, Scully prefers to announce solo. Scully only calls the first three innings on radio (simulcast with Dodgers' television broadcasts); after the first three innings, the radio broadcasts are handled by Charley Steiner on play-by-play and Rick Monday with color commentary while Scully continues on television; Steiner and Monday also do the entire radio broadcast for nationally-televised Dodger games. For locally-televised road games that Scully does not call, Steiner handles the TV commentary with Orel Hershiser and Nomar Garciaparra on color commentary, while Monday calls play-by-play on radio with Kevin Kennedy doing color.
