Detroit Tigers radio broadcast team falls to 13th in latest rankings
Summary

Awful Announcing released its annual fan-graded rankings for Major League Baseball radio broadcasts this week, placing the Detroit Tigers at 13th out of 30 teams. This represents a decline for the booth from their 8th-place ranking in 2025. The broadcast team features lead play-by-play announcer Dan Dickerson alongside Greg Gania, Bobby Scales, and Dan Petry. Survey results based on over 10,000 fan votes showed that 39.3% of respondents assigned the team a C grade, while over 80% of fans rated the performance as an A, B, or C. Analysts noted that listeners expressed concern regarding the frequency with which Dickerson shifts to television duties, which some fans argued disrupts the rhythm of the radio broadcast. Despite the ranking drop, the consensus remains that Dickerson is a strong lead for the Tigers' radio coverage.
