List of Los Angeles Dodgers broadcasters

none
This article details the current and historical radio and television broadcasters for the National League Los Angeles Dodgers. The history of Dodgers' games being broadcast began when the then Brooklyn Dodgers became one of the first Major League Baseball teams to begin radio broadcasts and were the first to be featured on a television baseball game broadcast, both during the 1939 season.

Red Barber was the Dodgers' original broadcaster, calling Brooklyn Dodgers games on the radio (and later TV) from 1939 to 1953. Vin Scully called Dodgers games from 1950 to 2016. His longtime partners were Jerry Doggett (1956–1987) and Ross Porter (1977–2004). He was replaced by former Dodgers outfielder Rick Monday. for both radio and television. Scully was simulcast for the first three innings of each of his appearances, before calling the remainder of the game exclusively on television. The 2016 season marked his 67th and final season as a Dodgers broadcaster; Scully called a reduced schedule with only 6 road games, including the team's season finale in San Francisco. Scully's commentary during his final game was simulcast in its entirety on radio, instead of only the first three innings. During games called by Scully, Charley Steiner took over play by play on radio beginning with the fourth inning, with Rick Monday as color commentator. In 2023, the Dodgers added Stephen Nelson as the new television play by play announcer. Nelson previously worked for the MLB Network and called MLB Friday night games on Apple TV Plus and will be substituting for Joe Davis when he is on a Fox network MLB or NFL game.

From 2006 to 2013, the over the air games were aired on KCAL TV after the two parties signed a multi year, multimillion dollar deal in 2005, and they aired 50 games per season. The previous over the air television homes for the Dodgers in Los Angeles were KCOP from 2002 to 2005; KTLA from 1993 to 2001; and KTTV from 1958 to 1992. In their New York days, WOR TV carried Dodgers games from 1950 until their move following the 1957 season. The cable television home of the Dodgers was Fox Sports Net Prime Ticket (previously known as Fox Sports Net West 2) from 1997 to 2013. Starting in the late 1970s through the early 1990s, the Dodgers put a small number of their home games on a subscription/pay per view service appropriately carried Dodgervision. During that timeframe, in addition to the road telecasts from KTTV, selected home games were also televised on the ONTV subscription service, the now defunct Z Channel/SportsChannel Los Angeles network, and then again, on a pay per view basis until a majority of Dodgers games debuted on the then new Fox Sports Net West 2 in 1997, just around the same time FSN West 2's parent company, News Corporation (also owner of KTTV) bought the team from the O'Malley family. In relation to News Corp's purchase of the Dodgers, there was speculation that the Dodgers over the air telecasts would return to KTTV, but they were still under contract to KTLA. KTLA's contract with the Dodgers ended in 2001, and the over the air telecasts then moved to KTTV's now sister station, KCOP, with the production handled by FSN West 2. On radio, the Dodgers have broadcast on KLAC (570 AM) since 2012. In October 2011 the team signed a three year deal with KLAC parent company Clear Channel Communications. KABC (790 AM) was the Dodgers' flagship station from 1974 through 1997 and from 2008 through 2011. The games had aired on KFWB (980 AM) from 2002 through 2007. Other station to carry the Dodgers included KXTA (1150 AM; now KEIB), which was a sports talk station, from 1998 through 2001. KFI (640 AM) was the radio flagship from 1960 to 1973. And previous to that, KMPC (710 AM, now KSPN) was the original flagship radio station in Los Angeles of the vast Dodgers Radio Network, which is carried on 16 stations in five states (California, Nevada, New Mexico, Hawaii, Florida, plus the U. S. Virgin Islands). Their Spanish radio network was led by KHJ which took over in 2008 from longtime home KWKW (1330 AM), with Jarrín, Pepe Yñiguez, and former Dodger great Fernando Valenzuela on the call, and was carried on six stations in California, Nevada, and Arizona. In 2011 Spanish language Dodger broadcasts returned to KTNQ, the station that carried the games from 1979 to 1986. During Scully's later years in the broadcast booth, he normally called all nine innings (plus extra innings if necessary) on locally televised games, with the first three innings being simulcast on radio, while Steiner and Monday took over in the final innings on radio. However, as he neared retirement, he cut back on his schedule. Starting in 2005, he largely stopped working non playoff games played east of Phoenix, and did not regularly call any Dodgers regular season games that were nationally televised. By his final season in 2016, he called only home games, plus select road games in California; he chose to end his broadcasting career at the end of the 2016 regular season despite the Dodgers making the playoffs. Fox Sports West's broadcast deal with the team expired at the end of the 2013 MLB season. On June 20, 2011, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig rejected a proposed contract extension between the Dodgers and Fox, stating "Critically, the transaction is structured to facilitate the further diversion of Dodgers assets for the personal needs of Mr. McCourt. Given the magnitude of the transaction, such a diversion of assets would have the effect of mortgaging the future of the franchise to the long term detriment of the club and its fans." Both Fox Sports West and the Dodgers were involved in separate lawsuits over the team's broadcast rights as well as the sale of the club. On January 10, 2012, Fox and the Dodgers reached a settlement in court, clearing the way for the sale of the team. Fox's exclusive negotiating period with the Dodgers expired on November 30, 2012: both sides were in discussions over a TV deal worth $6 billion over 25 years. The team was also in talks to move to the newly formed Time Warner Cable SportsNet, or to form a team owned regional sports network with Dick Clark Productions (which was also recently acquired by the Dodgers' parent company, Guggenheim Partners). In 2014 the Dodgers began a new exclusive television deal with Time Warner Cable and began airing games on the team controlled cable channel, SportsNet LA. This meant the end of over the air broadcast of the team's games, for the first time since 1949. Limited over the air broadcasts would only resume in 2016 on KTLA, with several over the air game broadcasts simulcast from SportsNet LA during the season. The simulcasts began first as a chance for non cable viewers to hear and see Vin Scully's final season as the long time team play by play commentator.
