The Boston Celtics Radio Network is a radio network that broadcasts
Boston Celtics basketball games with a flagship station of
WBZ-FM (98.5). Carried in 5 of the 6
New Englandstates, the network has 27 stations (17 on
AM, 10 on
FM, plus 4 FM
translators).
Certain of these stations, including flagship WBZ-FM, also have commitments to carry games of the
New England Patriots (
football) and
Boston Bruins (
hockey), and Celtics games may be pre-empted.
From 2005 until 2013, Celtics games had been carried on
Entercom-owned stations
WRKO and
WEEI. That partnership ended in August 2013. In September 2013, the Celtics announced that they had signed a multi-year deal with
CBS Radio to broadcast games on their network.[1] CBS Radio and Entercom merged in 2017.[2]
