List of Detroit Lions broadcasters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of broadcasters for the Detroit Lions, both past and present.

Current

The Lions' flagship radio station is WXYT-FM 97.1. The broadcast team includes Dan Miller on play-by-play, Lomas Brown on color commentary, and T. J. Lang as sideline reporter.[1]

The team moved back to WXYT after having been on WJR since the 2016 NFL season, which followed a 20-year relationship with WXYT. The decision to part with WXYT was reportedly instigated by a demand by the team for the station to fire on-air personality Mike Valenti—who has had a history of making comments critical of the Lions during his drive-time show—as a condition of any future renewal. A CBS Radio spokesperson stated that their refusal was meant to maintain the station's integrity.[2][3]

Former

WXYT (AM) was the sole flagship station from 1998 - 2004. WKRK-FM (later WXYT (AM)) became the co-flagship in 2004.

Detroit's WWJ Newsradio 950 was the team's flagship station from 1989 to 1998 and continued to simulcast WXYT (AM)'s broadcasts prior to the team's move to WKRK. [citation needed] Prior to 1989, WJR had served as the Lions' radio flagship. [citation needed]
