=== Radio and television === {{See also|List of Boston Red Sox broadcasters|Boston Red Sox Radio Network}} The [[flagship station|flagship]] [[radio station]] of the Red Sox is [[WEEI-FM]] 93.7. [[Joe Castiglione]] has broadcast Red Sox games since 1983 (initially assisting [[Ken Coleman]]) and has been the lead [[play-by-play]] announcer since 1993. [[Tim Neverett]] worked with him from 2016 through 2018, but in 2019, WEEI opted for a more conversational format with a variety of commentators (see the above link) alongside Castiglione. Former Red Sox player [[Lou Merloni]] has provided color commentary since 2013. Castiglione's predecessors include [[Curt Gowdy]] and [[Ned Martin]]. He has also worked with play-by-play veterans Bob Starr and [[Jerry Trupiano]]. Many stations throughout [[New England]] and beyond carry the broadcasts. On August 26, 2024, Rylee Pay and [[Emma Tiedemann]] became the first pair of women to call a Red Sox game.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/08/27/boston-red-sox-female-broadcasters |title=NESN features first pair of women broadcasters in booth to call Red Sox game |work=Sports Business Journal |date=August 27, 2024 |access-date=October 3, 2024}}</ref> All Red Sox telecasts not shown nationally are available on [[New England Sports Network]] (NESN), with [[Dave O'Brien (sportscaster)|Dave O'Brien]] calling play-by-play, and [[Kevin Youkilis]], [[Kevin Millar]] and [[Will Middlebrooks]] splitting color commentary duties. [[Jerry Remy]], a former Red Sox second baseman, served as [[color analyst]] from 1988 up until his death in 2021. Remy had [[lung cancer]], and would at times step away from broadcasting duties to focus on his health. Former Red Sox pitcher [[Dennis Eckersley]] worked as a color commentator for NESN until his retirement following the 2022 season. Several local television stations, including [[WHDH-TV (defunct)|the original WHDH-TV]], [[WNAC-TV (Boston)|WNAC-TV]] (now the current [[WHDH (TV)|WHDH]]), [[WBZ-TV]], [[WSBK-TV]], [[WLVI]], [[WBPX|WABU]], and [[WFXT]], broadcast Red Sox games prior to 2006, when NESN became the exclusive home of the team.
