The Fresno Grizzlies, entering their first season as Triple-A Pacific Coast League affiliate of the Washington Nationals, have announced broadcast agreements for both radio and television coverage for the 2019 season. KRDU 1130 AM in Dinuba, an iHeartMedia station, will broadcast all 140 Grizzlies games and any playoff games live. All radio broadcasts can be heard free of charge at FresnoGrizzlies.com and on the MiLB app. 22 home games at Chukchansi Park will also be televised locally in high-definition on KAIL, including Opening Day (April 4) and July 4. Every Grizzlies game, home or road, is available on MiLB.TV and FresnoGrizzlies.com to subscribers (radio simulcast), with most in HD (all 70 home games in HD).
Games will be televised live on "MyCentralValley," over the air station 7.1, Comcast Xfinity channel 713 HD (13 SD), and on channel 53 for local fans with DirecTV, AT&T U-verse and dish Network. Anyone with a television in the Central Valley will be able to see the live broadcasts, most of which are marquee games against west coast-affiliated teams (full schedule below).
Doug Greenwald will return to the Grizzlies' mic as lead play-by-play broadcaster for a 17th season in Fresno. Greenwald will call all home and road games on the radio, aside from most TV games, where Stephen Rice returns to the radio call in Greenwald's stead while handling television duties. Rice broadcasts baseball and men's and women's basketball for Fresno Pacific University.
"This is about continuing to grow baseball in Fresno and the Valley, our work in doing that is never complete" said Fresno Grizzlies team president Derek Franks. "Our new broadcast agreements will make Grizzlies baseball easy to follow at home, in the car, nationwide or wherever people may be missing Chukchansi Park. There are plenty of fans out there who would like to be at every game but just can't, so we need to offer the best alternative for them on a nightly basis."
Beginning last season, the Fresno Grizzlies partnered with CMAC (Community Media Access Collaborative), also of Downtown Fresno, to present Grizzlies home games in high definition via MiLB.TV and FresnoGrizzlies.com (subscription-based). Home games not broadcast on KAIL can be seen on "CMAC2," channel 94 on Comcast Xfinity and 99 on AT&T U-Verse (radio simulcast). CMAC2 is also available in HD on Apple TV and Roku. Home games will also be rebroadcast on KSDI 33.7 over the air, courtesy of Cocola Broadcasting.
