Editing Arizona Diamondbacks (section)

==Radio and television==
On July 18, 2023, a federal bankruptcy court granted Bally Sports' parent company [[Diamond Sports Group]] a motion to decline its contract with the Diamondbacks as part of its [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|chapter 11 bankruptcy]]. As a result, [[MLB Local Media|Major League Baseball's local media division]] assumed production of the Diamondbacks' regional telecasts (maintaining staff such as commentators) and distributed them via local television providers and [[MLB.tv]]. As of 2024, these games are branded as '''DBacks.TV'''. Games air on the following cable providers and networks:<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mackie |first1=Theo |date=July 18, 2023 |title=Diamondbacks games no longer to be carried on Bally Sports; MLB moving them to new outlets |work=AzCentral |url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/diamondbacks/2023/07/18/arizona-diamondbacks-tv-games-off-bally-sports-mlb-taking-over/70425570007/ |access-date=July 18, 2023 |archive-date=July 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230718191707/https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/diamondbacks/2023/07/18/arizona-diamondbacks-tv-games-off-bally-sports-mlb-taking-over/70425570007/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Crupi |first=Anthony |date=July 18, 2023 |title=Diamond Sports Dumps D-backs TV Deal With No Eleventh-Hour Reprieve |url=https://www.sportico.com/business/media/2023/arizona-diamondbacks-bally-sports-diamond-sports-group-deal-end-1234731113/ |access-date=July 19, 2023 |website=Sportico.com |language=en-US |archive-date=July 19, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230719231414/https://www.sportico.com/business/media/2023/arizona-diamondbacks-bally-sports-diamond-sports-group-deal-end-1234731113/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The primary television play-by-play voice for the team's first nine seasons of play was [[Thom Brennaman]], who also broadcast baseball and [[college football]] games nationally for [[MLB on Fox|Fox Television]]. Brennaman was the TV announcer for the [[Chicago Cubs]] and [[Cincinnati Reds]] (along with his father [[Marty Brennaman]]) before being hired by Diamondbacks founder Jerry Colangelo in 1996, two years before the team would begin play.

In October 2006, Brennaman left the Diamondbacks to call games with his father for the Reds beginning in 2007, signing a four-year deal.

On November 1, 2006, the team announced that the TV voice of the [[Milwaukee Brewers]] since 2002, [[Daron Sutton]], would be hired as the Diamondbacks primary TV play-by-play voice. Sutton was signed to a five-year contract with a team option for three more years. Sutton's signature chants included "let's get some runs" when the D-backs trail in late innings.<ref name="mlb3">{{cite press release|title=Sutton to broadcast Diamondbacks games on D-backs TV network, Fox Sports Net Arizona through 2011|url=http://www.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/ari/y2006/m11/d01/c1729190.jsp|publisher=MLB Advanced Media|website=Dbacks.com|date=November 1, 2006|access-date=June 21, 2020|archive-date=September 14, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210914010333/http://www.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/ari/y2006/m11/d01/c1729190.jsp|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Former Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs first baseman [[Mark Grace]] and [[knuckleball]]er [[Tom Candiotti]] were the Diamondbacks primary color analysts for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Former Diamondbacks third baseman [[Matt Williams (third baseman)|Matt Williams]] also did color commentary on occasion, as did [[St. Louis Cardinals|Cardinals]] and [[NBC]] broadcast legend [[Joe Garagiola]], a longtime Phoenix-area resident and father of [[Joe Garagiola Jr.]], the first GM of the Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks announced in July 2007<ref>{{cite press release|title=FSN Arizona to become exclusive TV home for the D-backs starting next season|url=http://www.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/ari/y2007/m07/d13/c2084028.jsp|publisher=MLB Advanced Media|website=Dbacks.com|date=July 13, 2007|access-date=June 21, 2020|archive-date=March 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308051159/http://www.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/ari/y2007/m07/d13/c2084028.jsp|url-status=dead}}</ref> that for the 2008 season, all regionally broadcast Diamondbacks TV games would be shown exclusively on Fox Sports Arizona (now [[Bally Sports Arizona]]) and a few could possibly be shown on the national ''[[MLB on Fox]]'' telecasts. Bally Sports Arizona is seen in 2.8&nbsp;million households in Arizona and New Mexico. The previous flagship station since the inaugural 1998 season was [[KTVK]] (Channel 3), a popular over-the-air independent station (and former longtime [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate) in Phoenix.

From 2009 to 2012, Grace and Sutton were tagged as the main broadcasters of the Diamondbacks with pre-game and postgame shows on Fox Sports Arizona, being hosted by [[Joe Borowski (baseball)|Joe Borowski]].

On June 21, 2012, Sutton was suspended indefinitely amid rumors of insubordination.<ref>{{cite news|last=Piecoro|first=Nick|title=Arizona Diamondbacks SS Stephen Drew's ankle holds up|url=http://archive.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/20120627arizona-diamondbacks-ss-stephen-drews-ankle-holds-up.html|newspaper=[[The Arizona Republic]]|date=June 27, 2012|access-date=November 9, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208165857/http://archive.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/20120627arizona-diamondbacks-ss-stephen-drews-ankle-holds-up.html|archive-date=December 8, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> On August 24, the team announced that Grace had requested an indefinite leave of absence after being arrested for his second DUI in less than two years.<ref>{{cite news|last=Boivin|first=Paola|title=Arizona Diamondbacks hit hard again in the public eye|url=http://archive.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/articles/20120824arizona-diamondbacks-hit-hard-again-public-eye.html|newspaper=The Arizona Republic|date=August 24, 2012|access-date=November 9, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208144030/http://archive.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/articles/20120824arizona-diamondbacks-hit-hard-again-public-eye.html|archive-date=December 8, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> Grace was later indicted on four DUI counts.<ref>{{cite news|last=Merrill|first=Laurie|title=Mark Grace indicted on 4 DUI counts|url=http://www.azcentral.com/community/scottsdale/articles/20121025mark-grace-indicted-dui-counts.html|newspaper=The Arizona Republic|access-date=November 9, 2012|archive-date=October 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121028005936/http://www.azcentral.com/community/scottsdale/articles/20121025mark-grace-indicted-dui-counts.html?|url-status=live}}</ref>) For the remainder of the 2012 season, Sutton was replaced by Greg Schulte (Jeff Munn replaced Schulte on the radio broadcast) and Grace was replaced by Luis Gonzalez.

The English language flagship radio station is [[KTAR (AM)|KTAR]]. [[Greg Schulte]] was the regular radio play-by-play voice, a 25-year veteran of sports radio in the Phoenix market, also well known for his previous work on [[Phoenix Suns]], [[Arizona Cardinals]] and [[Arizona State University]] (ASU) broadcasts. It was announced in February 2023 that he would be retiring after the 2023 MLB season.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gilbert |first1=Steve |title='The Gub'nuh,' longtime voice of D-backs, to retire after '23 |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/greg-schulte-to-retire-from-d-backs-radio-following-23 |website=MLB.com |access-date=March 27, 2024 |language=en}}</ref> He would call games with analyst Tom Candiotti.<ref name=":0" />

[[Jeff Munn]] served as a backup radio play-by-play announcer until 2016; he served as the regular public address announcer at [[Chase Field]] in the early days of the franchise. He previously served as the public address announcer for the Suns in the 1990s at what became [[Footprint Center]].

Games were televised in Spanish on [[KPHE-LD|KPHE-LP]]—with Oscar Soria and Jerry Romo as the announcers, but this arrangement ended prior to the 2009 season due to the team switching fully to Fox Sports Arizona and the lack of carriage of KPHE-LP on the Cox cable system.<ref name="azc1">{{cite news|last=Piecoro|first=Nick|title=No Spanish TV broadcasts for D-Backs|url=http://archive.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/articles/2009/01/22/20090122spt-dbackstv.html|newspaper=The Arizona Republic|date=January 22, 2009|access-date=December 9, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304065628/http://archive.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/articles/2009/01/22/20090122spt-dbackstv.html|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
