Boston Celtics Radio Network

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 England states, the network has 20 stations (8 on A.M., 12 on F.M.).

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]
