| What Radio Station Is The Detroit Red Wings On |
Your Flagship Stations: A Match Made in Hockey Heaven
The Red Wings have a legendary radio partnership with Detroit's sister stations, WXYT-AM (1270 on your AM dial) and WXYT-FM (97.1 FM). These are your go-to spots for all things Red Wings, with veteran announcers bringing the action straight to your living room. Just remember, if the Detroit Tigers are roaring on the radio (because, you know, baseball season!), the Wings might need to temporarily switch frequencies. But fear not, a quick channel scan and you'll be back in the hockey zone.
Beyond the Motor City: Spreading the Wings on the Radio
While WXYT reigns supreme in Detroit, the Red Wings have a dedicated fan base across Michigan and even dips its toes into Southwestern Ontario. So, if you're outside Detroit and craving that radio commentary, fret not! Several affiliate stations carry the Wings' games. A quick web search (because, hey, even hockey fans can embrace technology sometimes!) for "Detroit Red Wings radio affiliates" should point you in the right direction.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
