===Radio=== [[File:Marty Brennaman.jpg|thumb|150px|Marty Brennaman, the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] "voice of the Reds"]] The Reds' [[flagship (broadcasting)|flagship]] [[radio station]] has been [[WLW]], 700AM since 1969. Prior to that, the Reds were heard over WKRC, WCPO, WSAI and WCKY. WLW, a 50,000-watt station, is "[[Clear-channel stations|clear channel]]" in more than one way, as [[iHeartMedia]] owns the "blowtorch" outlet, which is also known as "The Nation's Station." Reds games can be heard on over 100 local radio stations through the [[Cincinnati Reds Radio Network|Reds on Radio Network]]. Since [[2020 Cincinnati Reds season|2020]], the Reds broadcast team has been former [[Pensacola Blue Wahoos]] radio [[play-by-play]] announcer Tommy Thrall and retired relief pitcher [[Jeff Brantley]] on [[color commentary]]. [[Marty Brennaman]] called Reds games from 1974 to 2019, most famously alongside former Reds pitcher and color commentator [[Joe Nuxhall]] through 2007. Brennaman has won the [[Ford C. Frick Award]] for his work, which includes his famous call of "... and this one belongs to the Reds!" after a win. Nuxhall preceded Brennaman in the Reds' booth, beginning in 1967 (the year after his retirement as an active player) until his death in 2007. (From 2004 to 2007, Nuxhall only called select home games.) In 2007, [[Thom Brennaman]], a veteran announcer seen nationwide on [[Fox Sports (USA)|Fox Sports]], joined his father [[Marty Brennaman|Marty]] in the radio booth. Brantley, formerly of [[ESPN]], also joined the network in 2007. Three years later in 2010, Brantley and Thom Brennaman's increased TV schedule led to more appearances for [[Jim Kelch]], who had filled in on the network since 2008. Kelch's contract expired after the 2017 season.<ref name="Reds don't renew Jim Kelch">{{cite web |last1=Rosecrans |first1=Trent |title=Reds don't renew Jim Kelch |url=https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2017/11/28/reds-simplifying-broadcast-booth-dont-renew-jim-kelch/903081001/ |publisher=Cincinnati Enquirer |access-date=July 11, 2021}}</ref> In 2019, Thrall was brought in to provide in-game and post-game coverage, as well as act as a fill-in play-by-play announcer.<ref name="Tommy Thrall reflects on Wahoos Career">{{cite web| url = https://www.milb.com/pensacola/news/tommy-thrall-reflects-on-wahoos-career-after-call-up-302966876| title = Tommy Thrall Reflects On Wahoos Career After Call-Up}}</ref> He succeeded Marty Brennaman when the former retired at the end of the 2019 season.
