Last week, we announced the rankings for the 2026 local MLB TV announcers.
Now it’s time to turn our attention to the voices who define your favorite MLB team on the radio.
We want your perspectives on how the various local radio broadcast booths have shaped up this season. As with all of our rankings, including last year’s local MLB radio announcer grades, the bottom of this post includes a voting form (also available here). The form includes each MLB team, along with their local radio play-by-play voices and analysts as best we could find (if we missed someone, please let us know and we’ll add them).
You will be asked to grade each team’s broadcast setup individually on a scale from A to F. A is the best grade, and F is the worst. You will also see room to provide comments about each broadcasting team. These are optional, but may be useful to us as we attempt to parse out similar grades and understand what makes a booth work (or not work, as it were).
The voting form is below (and here). It will be open through 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Friday, August 28. The full rankings will be announced at Awful Announcing later next week.
