The Atlanta Braves and Clear Channel radio announced today that Braves veteran broadcasters Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren will helm the radio airways through 2009. The two will be heard around Metro Atlanta on Clear Channel’s 94.9 The Bull, the new home of the Atlanta Braves. Clear Channel announced earlier today that Braves games were moving from Project 9-6-1 to 94.9 The Bull. Regionally, the duo can be heard on the Braves Radio Network on over 150 stations across the Southeast.
“We are thrilled that Skip and Pete will continue announcing Braves games for a long time,” said Derek Schiller, Braves Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “They have been the voices of the Braves for over 31 years and continue to be our fans favorites.”
Caray and Van Wieren, who together were inducted into the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame in 2004, will enter into their 32nd season of Braves announcing in 2007.
“Given the opportunity to sign these two legends is a no-brainer,” said Chuck Deskins, President and General Manager of Clear Channel Radio Atlanta. “They are an institution not just in Atlanta, but in baseball.”
