Some may disagree, but the Cincinnati Reds have one of the broadcast crews in all of Major League Baseball. And while the name will be different, the same folks who brought you all the Reds action in 2024 are back for more in 2025.

FanDuel Sports Network replaces the now-defunct Bally Sports. Diamond Sports Group settled all their legal issues over this past winter which helped to pave the way for the rebranded FanDuel Sports Network to take centerstage in 2025.

Who are the Reds TV and radio announcers for 2025?

Reds play-by-play announcer John Sadak has taken his fair share of criticism from the Cincinnati faithful since taking over for the departed Thom Brennaman. But Sadak is one of the most entertaining voices in the game and will be back behind the microphone for every game that FanDuel Sports Network covers this season.

Splitting color commentary duties will be a trio of former Reds players. Barry Larkin will be on the call for Opening Day, and presumably for all of the Reds home games this season. Sharing the mic on the road this season will be Chris Welsh and Jeff Brantley. Fans should expect the "Crafty Left-Hander" and "The Cowboy" to split radio responsibilities as well.

It's not easy to take over for a legend, but Tommy Thrall is doing a tremendous job. Thrall took over for Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman in 2020 and will share the radio booth with Welsh and Brantley this season.

Never to be outdone, Jim Day will be back on the field bringing you player interviews from the Reds dugout and the clubhouse all season long. Day began interviewing some of Cincinnati's spring standouts for the "Jim Day Podcast" while the team is in Goodyear, and he'll continue to gather some intriguing insight on some of your favorite Reds players throughout the season.

Rounding out the Reds broadcast team are Sam LeCure, Brian Giesenschlag, and Annie Sabo. These three will preview the upcoming games and take you behind the scenes after the final out as LeCure, Giesenschlag, and Sabo will host Reds Live! on FanDuel Sports Network.

FanDuel Sports Network Cincinnati and the Reds Radio Network will bring you all the action this season. Buckle up, Reds fans.
