Notes[]
- Gold shading indicates championship season.
- 1: WGAR became WKNR in 1990; currently home to WHKW.
- 2: WTAM became KYW in 1956, WKYC in 1965, WWWE in 1972 and reverted to the WTAM calls in 1996.
- 3: WXEL-TV became WJW-TV in 1955, WJKW in 1977, back to WJW-TV in 1985 and WJW in 1998.
- 4: WERE became WJMO in 2007.
- 5: WJW became WRMR in 1985 and WKNR in 2001.
- †: The majority of regular season games in 1948 originated over WJW-FM, which in turn fed a statewide network of stations.[8][9] WJW had arranged ABC Radio commitments prior to the season's start under the presumption that afternoon games would start at 3 p.m.,[10]: 95 but start times were abruptly moved to 2 p.m. with little advance notice.[11] WJW carried the one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox after team owner Bill Veeck prohibited WHK from carrying Mutual's nationwide network coverage.[12]: 168 WJW carried all games during the 1949 season after resolving all network commitments.[13]
- ‡: Four radio stations simultaneously covered the June 28, 1946 Indians game, which occurred shortly after the purchase of the team by Bill Veeck.[14] Permanent play-by-play was established at that point, with the games going to WGAR.[12]: 167–168
- **: Jack Graney replaced Ellis Vander Pyl as play-by-play voice for WHK several games into the 1932 season.
- *: Select home games were only covered by WTAM from 1929 to 1931, as Tom Manning also served as a field announcer at League Park.
