Cleveland Indians Announce New Columbus Radio Affiliate

Previously we discussed the odd switch of 105.7 the X to another FOX Sports radio station here in Columbus. Well, whatever nose-upturning we did to the idea can go away now, because the Cleveland Indians have announced that they will use 105.7 to broadcast most of their games in the Columbus market.

Per the Indians organization:

Hey Columbus! Guess what? A new radio affiliate is in town! The Cleveland Indians announced today that an agreement has been reached with 105.7 FM as the new Columbus, OH, affiliate on the Indians Radio Network for the 2017 season. WXZX 105.7 FM will broadcast the majority of the Tribe’s regular season games during the upcoming season, so set the station as one of your favorites! The Indians Radio Network will feature 27 stations, including flagship stations WTAM 1100 AM across the state of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania in 2017.

That’s exciting news for those who have missed the dulcet tones of Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus in the Columbus market. I remember trying to listen to the World Series through a station in Mansfield and while I was able to hear most of it when I was at home, when I was downtown I got nothing.

The announcement comes exactly one month before the Indians are set to play their first Spring Training game.

Columbus Cleveland Indians fans rejoice!
