Dialing Up the Celtics: Your Guide to Catching the Green on the Radio
Ah, basketball season. The squeak of sneakers, the swish of the net, and the dulcet tones of your favorite radio announcer calling the action. But where, oh where, do you find the Boston Celtics blasting through your speakers? Fear not, fellow Celtics fan, for this guide will have you tuning in like a pro (or at least someone who doesn't accidentally listen to opera instead of overtime).
The Usual Haunt: 98.5 The Sports Hub
That's right, folks, WBZ-FM (98.5 The Sports Hub) is the flagship station for the Celtics Radio Network. This is your go-to spot for all things Celtics, from the pre-game hype to the post-game analysis (and maybe some witty banter from the ever-entertaining Toucher & Rich).
Hold Up, There Can Be a Twist...
Now, before you grab your Celtics jersey and blast the car radio up to 11, there's a wrinkle. Sometimes, just sometimes, those pesky New England Patriots or the ice-loving Boston Bruins might try to steal the airwaves. These other teams have broadcast rights too, and if their games clash with the Celtics', you might be met with the dulcet tones of Tom Brady highlights instead of Jayson Tatum's buzzer-beater.
Fret Not, Grasshopper, There Are Options!
Don't despair! If 98.5 lets you down, here are a few other ways to catch the Celtics on the radio:
- Check the Celtics Radio Network Affiliates: The network stretches across all six New England states, with stations on both AM and FM. You can find a full list on the Celtics website (or with a quick Google search).
- SiriusXM: For those who like their radio with a side of satellite, you can tune into SiriusXM NBA Radio (Sirius 207, XM 86) to catch the Celtics game.
Bonus Tip: Download the Team's App! The Celtics app often has a radio broadcast stream, so you can catch the game on your phone no matter where you are (as long as you have data or WIFI).
