L.A. Angels 2024 radio broadcasts

R

Rollo-Smokes

Maybe not many care at this point, with Shohei Ohtani now wearing Dodger blue and all, but it's worth noting.

Once again, it looks like the Angels will be keeping their radio broadcasters in Anaheim when the team goes on the road. This would be the fourth consecutive season that Terry Smith (play-by-play) and Mark Langston (analyst) will be calling road games remotely from the KLAA studios at Angel Stadium. That's where they were when the Angels played two exhibition games against the Dodgers in L.A. the past two nights (Mar. 24 and 25).

The Angels start the regular season on Mar. 28–on the road, against the Orioles in Baltimore. In fact, sixteen of their first 22 games will be away from home, and all will be in the Eastern time zone.

Small market thinking by an owner, Arte Moreno, who I so wish had sold the team a year ago as he had indicated he planned to. Joe Lacob was set to buy the team and would have been a likely far better owner for the Angels and for KLAA.

The lack of professionalism of this is beyond comprehension.

like a radio station these days, Moreno will never get what he wants for the angels

O'Neill started working in New York again once the restrictions were lifted.

Sometimes. His family is in Cincinnati. He wants to be with his family. So sometimes he does color from his basement. They've discussed this on the air, and have shown his basement studio.

At the YES studios or at Yankee Stadium? And, if the latter, did he go on road trips with the team as well?

The Yankees have a bunch of PBP and color announcers. Michael Kay has local radio obligations, so he doesn't always travel. Sometimes the games start early, while he's still on the radio, so he doesn't have time to travel to the stadium. O'Neill also doesn't do all the games.

Kay does between 100-125 games on YES. His radio show doesn't really factor into his TV schedule. YES is his no. 1 employer, Good Karma second.

Kay also has two young kids at home with his wife, Jodi Applegate. So he schedules his vacations from both YES and radio around family time.
