The flagship radio stations of the professional American football team, the Baltimore Ravens, are Hearst-owned WIYY (98 Rock) and WBAL 1090 AM, with Gerry Sandusky (WBAL-TV Sports Anchor since 1988) as the play-by-play announcer and Rod Woodson (Baltimore Ravens CB-S 1998–2001) as the color commentator. Sandusky has been the primary voice since the ballclub changed flagship stations after the 2005 campaign. Long-time WMAR-TV sports director and anchor Scott Garceau and Tom Matte had previously formed the nucleus of the broadcast team for the franchise's first ten seasons.
The team's flagship station is WIYY/WBAL sister station WBAL-TV, which broadcasts NFL preseason games and team programming throughout the season. The programming is syndicated to WJLA-TV in Washington, WBOC-TV in Salisbury, WGAL in the Harrisburg–Lebanon–York–Lancaster, Pennsylvania market, and until 2017, was carried through the remainder of the team's region by CSN Mid-Atlantic. In January 2017, the Ravens announced that it had cut ties with CSN Mid-Atlantic, as the network was cutting back on its day-to-day coverage of other teams in the region in order to focus more extensively on the Washington Capitals and Wizards—whose games are broadcast by CSN Mid-Atlantic, and whose owner holds a stake in the network. The team announced that it would seek a new partner; until 2010, these rights were held by MASN.
The Ravens' regular season games are typically broadcast by WJZ-TV as part of CBS's rights to the AFC (also includes the 2024 Christmas Day game, which the NFL legally declared a CBS game that airs on primary market affiliates), but games may occasionally be broadcast on WBAL (Sunday Night Football or national non-ABC simulcast Monday Night Football because of Hearst ownership), WBFF-TV if the Ravens host an NFC team, and WMAR-TV (national ABC simulcast Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football because of Scripps ownership).
