San Diego Padres Extend Radio Deal with Broadcast Company of the Americas

Major League Baseball’s San Diego Padres have renewed their radio deal for another year with Broadcast Company of the Americas.

Broadcasters Jerry Coleman, Ted Leitner and Andy Masur will return in 2012 as part of the Padres radio lineup.

In accordance with the agreement, all Spring Training games and all 162 regular season Padres games will be broadcast on XX 1090 AM in 2012.

In addition, the Padres have added a voice to the broadcast booth in former Major League pitcher Bob Scanlan, who will share color commentary duties with Coleman, with Leitner and Masur handling the play-by-play duties.

Padres COO and team president Tom Garfinkel, said: “We’ve been missing the players’ perspective and the insight to what’s happening in the game and with Bob’s experience as a pitcher, he can bring that perspective to the fan.”

The first game to be broadcast will be the Padres annual charity game against the Mariners in Spring Training on March 4.

The first game of the regular season is set for April 5 against the Dodgers at Petco Park.
