Ravens Set Radio Broadcast Team
• Hearst Television’s WIYY (98 Rock), WBAL-AM (NewsRadio 1090/101.5)/Baltimore and the Baltimore Ravens have set their on-air radio broadcast team for the (fingers crossed) 2020 NFL season.
Former Ravens players Dennis Pitta and Obafemi “Femi” Ayanbadejo will join Ravens play-by-play announcer Gerry Sandusky, who returns for his 14th year as the voice of the Ravens. Dennis and Femi will provide color and analysis during the upcoming season. Pitta (left) holds the Ravens’ single-season record for most receptions by a tight end and helped Baltimore win Super Bowl XLVII in 2013. He returns to the broadcast booth after serving as an analyst during the 2018 season. Across his three seasons in Baltimore, Ayanbadejo (right) contributed on both special teams and offense, helping to establish the league’s fifth-best rushing attack during the Ravens’ Super Bowl-winning 2000 campaign.
Cary Pahigian, President & GM WBAL & 98 Rock, said, “We are pleased to offer Baltimore Ravens fans an exceptional broadcast team. As a former Raven, Dennis has always provided astute analysis to our broadcast. Femi’s extensive NFL experience will add keen insight, and there is no better play-by-play announcer than Gerry Sandusky.”
Ravens’ SVP/Chief Sales Officer Kevin Rochlitz added, “As former Ravens who each helped bring Super Bowl titles to Baltimore, Femi and Dennis provide extensive knowledge of the game and unique player perspectives. Additionally, they are well known throughout the Baltimore community, so this is exciting news for our fan base, WBAL, 98 Rock and the Ravens.”
