Braves Moving to New Station in 2010

As they battle for a spot in the 2009 playoffs, the Atlanta Braves this week announced that they are moving to a new radio home in 2010.

Dickey Broadcasting Co. reported it will become the Braves radio rights holder in 2010 for five years and will broadcast all 162 of the team’s games on 680 The Fan (WCNN-AM) and Rock 100.5 (WNNX-FM). 680 The Fan also is the flagship station for the Atlanta Thrashers.

Currently Braves games air on 640 WGST-AM and Project 9-6-1 96.1 FM.

Dickey Broadcasting also will oversee the Braves radio network to include at least 150 radio stations across the Southeast.

Former pitching great Don Sutton and Jim Powell will call the Braves games. All-day programing will include pre- and post-game shows, a coaches' show and other shows.
