ESPN Radio Chicago will air all 162 regular season games and potential postseason games in the third season of its multiyear deal as the White Sox exclusive radio home. Fans will also be able to listen on FM-100.3 HD2, the ESPN Chicago app, and the MLB app. WRTO/Univision Radio returns for its ninth consecutive year as the club’s Spanish-language radio home, broadcasting all 81 home games and select road games.
No changes are expected to the on air-talent for either television or radio. Jason Benetti (TV play-by-play), Steve Stone (TV analyst), Len Kasper (radio and TV play-by-play), Darrin Jackson (radio analyst), Connor McKnight (radio pre/post host; play-by-play), Hector Molina (Spanish radio play-by-play) and Billy Russo (Spanish analyst) will return for the upcoming season.
Due to Benetti’s schedule, Kasper will continue to fill in on the television side for approximately 20–25 games. During that stretch, McKnight will serve as radio play-by-play, and also fill in for Jackson when he is off. Former White Sox infielder Gordon Beckham will serve as a TV analyst for select games in place of Stone, as he has done in years prior.
For a look at the complete schedule, look at the calendar below.
