==Media== {{See also|List of Brooklyn Nets broadcasters}} {{more citations needed|section|date=March 2019}} The television home of the Nets is currently the [[YES Network]], which the team helped create while they were under the corporate umbrella of [[Yankee Global Enterprises|YankeeNets LLC]], a merger of business operations between the Nets and the [[New York Yankees]]. After the dissolution of YankeeNets and Bruce Ratner's purchase of the team, YES signed a long-term deal to keep broadcasting Nets games. The sale to the Ratner group did not include the percentage of YES that was previously owned by the Nets, which remains with the pre-merger Nets owners. Prior to that, the Nets' TV home was [[Fox Sports Net New York]] and [[SportsChannel New York]]. Select playoff games air [[Terrestrial television|over-the-air]] on [[WWOR-TV]] instead of on YES, this is only when Yankees games are airing at the same time. Previously these games aired on [[WLNY-TV]] or [[WPIX]]. The current [[flagship (radio)|flagship radio station]] of the Nets is [[WFAN (AM)|WFAN]], which took over the radio rights to the Nets after losing their basketball contract with the [[New York Knicks|Knicks]] (who moved to [[WEPN (AM)|WEPN]]). Prior to that, Nets games aired on [[WBBR|WNEW]], [[WMCA (AM)|WMCA]], [[WVNJ]], [[WNBC (AM)|WNBC]], [[WFME (AM)|WQEW]], and [[WOR (AM)|WOR]]. In the club's early ABA years, some Sunday road games were televised in a package carried by [[WPIX]]. The team's later ABA tenure featured more frequent road telecasts on their current broadcast partner, WWOR-TV. Known then as WOR-TV, it continued airing road games for a time once the team joined the NBA in 1976. ===Television=== [[Ian Eagle]] has been the sole television play-by-play announcer for the Nets since the departure of [[Marv Albert]] in 2011. Eagle became the lead television voice for the team in 1995 after serving as the team's radio voice for one year, while Albert joined the Nets following his firing by [[MSG (TV network)|MSG Network]] in 2005 after four decades as the lead voice of the [[New York Knicks]]. When Albert joined the broadcast team, he became the lead broadcaster with Eagle as his substitute; beginning in the 2009β10 season, due to Albert's advancing age and his other commitments, Eagle once again assumed the lead play-by-play spot. [[Ryan Ruocco]] substitutes for Eagle during the latter's CBS NFL and NCAA commitments. As of 2024, [[Sarah Kustok]], Ian Eagle, [[Ryan Ruocco]], and/or [[Noah Eagle]] provide color commentary on YES Network broadcasts, and Meghan Triplett serves as courtside reporter. ===Radio=== [[WFAN (AM)|WFAN]] is the Nets' current radio flagship, the station having assumed radio rights from [[WOR (AM)|WOR]] following the 2003β04 season. [[Chris Carrino]] and [[Tim Capstraw]] comprise the broadcast team, Carrino on play-by-play and Capstraw as the analyst. The games air on other [[Entercom]]-operated stations, such as [[WCBS (AM)]] and [[WXBK]], when there are programming conflicts on WFAN. Other broadcasters who have worked for the Nets include [[Howard David]], [[Bob Papa]], [[Bill Raftery]], [[Kelly Tripucka]], [[Albert King (basketball)|Albert King]], Mike O'Koren, [[Spencer Ross]], [[Mel Proctor]], [[Joe Tait]], [[John Sterling (sportscaster)|John Sterling]], [[John Minko]] and [[Mark Jackson (basketball)|Mark Jackson]]. Nets games have also aired on [[WBBR|WNEW]] and [[WFME (AM)|WQEW]] in the past. During the club's ABA years, announcers included [[Marty Glickman]], Marv Albert's brothers [[Al Albert (sportscaster)|Al Albert]] and [[Steve Albert]], baseball Hall of Fame pitcher [[Bob Gibson]], Bob Goldsholl, as well as Sterling and Vince DiTomasso. The latter two joined the club's move into the NBA.
