Listen to Seattle Mariners Games on Local Radio During Apple TV+ Broadcast
The Seattle Mariners' playoff push will be nationally televised on Apple TV+ this Friday at 7:10 p.m. against the Los Angeles Angels. Fortunately, fans can still enjoy the familiar voices of the local radio broadcast during the game.
Seamlessly Switch to the Seattle Sports Radio Broadcast
A key benefit of the Mariners' appearance on Apple TV+ is the ability to switch the audio feed to the Seattle Sports radio broadcast. This allows fans to listen to announcers Rick Rizzs and Gary Hill Jr. while watching the game.
To change the audio, simply click the circular waveform icon located above the timeline and to the right of the subtitles button. Select the "Seattle Sports" option to enjoy the local radio commentary instead of the Apple TV announcers.
Alternative Ways to Listen to the Mariners
Even without an Apple TV+ subscription, you can still listen to the game live on Seattle Sports 710 AM, the Seattle Sports app, or stream it at SeattleSports.com. The pregame show starts at 6 p.m. For details on streaming Mariners radio broadcasts, check the Seattle Sports website.
MLB.TV Also Offers Audio Feed Options
Apple TV+ isn't the only streaming service that offers the option to choose between TV and radio feeds. MLB.TV also provides this feature, but it's important to note that subscribers can only watch out-of-market games through MLB.TV.
Mariners' Increased National Broadcast Exposure
Friday marks the last scheduled Apple TV+ game for the Mariners this year. However, the team has been featured on national broadcasts regularly, especially recently. Analyst Jim Olney suggests that the Mariners may be the American League's most dangerous team.
Recent National Broadcast Appearances
- The Mariners played the New York Mets in the Little League Classic on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball on August 17.
- Their August 30 game at Cleveland was broadcast on FOX.
- Last Sunday’s 18-2 win at Atlanta was featured on the free streaming Roku Channel.
- The series finale against the Houston Astros on September 21 has been moved to ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball at 4 p.m.
Playoff Implications
If the Mariners make the playoffs, they can expect even more national games. The American League Wild Card Series games will air on ESPN platforms, while FOX channels will broadcast the subsequent AL playoff series and the World Series.
