In 2007, the Twins took the rights to the broadcasts in-house and created the Twins Radio Network (TRN). With that new network in place the Twins secured a new Metro Affiliate [[Flagship (radio)|flagship]] radio station in [[KSTP (AM)|KSTP]] (AM 1500). It replaced [[WCCO (AM)|WCCO]] (AM 830), which held broadcast rights for the Twins since the team moved to Minneapolis in 1961. For 2013, the Twins moved to FM radio on [[KTWN-FM]] ''96.3 K-Twin'', which is owned by the Pohlad family. The original radio voices of the Twins in 1961 were [[Ray Scott (sportscaster)|Ray Scott]], [[Halsey Hall]] and [[Bob Wolff]]. After the first season, [[Herb Carneal]] replaced Wolff. Twins TV and radio broadcasts were originally sponsored by the [[Hamm's Brewery|Hamm's Brewing Company]]. In 2009, Treasure Island Resort & Casino became the first-ever naming rights partner for the Twins Radio Network, making the commercial name of TRN the Treasure Island Baseball Network.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/min/schedule/trn.jsp |title=Twins Radio Network {{pipe}} twinsbaseball.com: Schedule |website=Minnesota Twins |publisher=MLB |date=June 19, 2012 |access-date=August 16, 2012 |archive-date=November 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103035559/http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/min/schedule/trn.jsp |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2017, it was announced that WCCO would become the flagship station the Twins again starting in 2018, thus returning the team back to its original station after 11 years.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/121050/minnesota-twins-to-return-to-wcco/ |title=Minnesota Twins Return To WCCO |last=Venta |first=Lance |date=November 17, 2017 |website=Radio Insight |access-date=February 11, 2018 |archive-date=December 20, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171220131447/https://radioinsight.com/headlines/121050/minnesota-twins-to-return-to-wcco/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

(or "go back to Boston", etc.), "Batting 3rd, the center-fielder, No. 34, Kirby Puckett!!!" and asking fans not to 'throw anything or anybody' onto the field.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050327&content_id=978236&vkey=news_min&fext=.jsp&c_id=min |title=Twins announcer Casey dies at age 79 {{pipe}} twinsbaseball.com: News |website=Minnesota Twins |publisher=MLB |date=June 19, 2012 |access-date=August 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070820164154/http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050327&content_id=978236&vkey=news_min&fext=.jsp&c_id=min |archive-date=August 20, 2007 }}</ref>
