Starting this weekend, Akron RubberDucks fans will have the opportunity to enjoy 15 of their favorite team's games broadcasted through the Rock Entertainment Sports Network (RESN). This initiative aims to bring the excitement of minor league baseball directly into living rooms across the region. The broadcasts will include live commentary from experienced announcers Jim Clark and Marco LaNave, who will provide play-by-play updates for each game. Additionally, viewers can look forward to experiencing some of the most thrilling promotional events scheduled at Canal Park throughout the season.
The collaboration between the RubberDucks and RESN represents a significant milestone in regional sports broadcasting. Established over a year ago by the Rock Entertainment Group in partnership with Gray Media, RESN has become an essential platform for showcasing Cleveland-area minor league teams as well as high school sports. Known for its round-the-clock availability, RESN covers areas such as Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, offering diverse programming options that cater to various interests within these communities.
Fans residing in the Cleveland, Akron, and Canton regions can access RESN using multiple methods. Over-the-air transmission is available via channel 22.1, while cable subscribers may tune in through Spectrum (channel 979), Great Wave (channel 901), Buckeye Broadband (channel 119), or Cox Cable (channel 97). These channels ensure widespread accessibility so no fan misses out on any of the upcoming matches featuring top-tier MLB prospects like Travis Bazzana.
In addition to providing detailed schedules for forthcoming RubberDucks games, RESN also highlights key matchups against formidable opponents including the Somerset Patriots, Altoona Curve, Erie SeaWolves, Richmond Flying Squirrels, and Binghamton Rumble Ponies. Each game promises not only competitive play but also memorable moments worthy of celebration among dedicated supporters.
Akron RubberDucks president and general manager Jim Pfander expressed enthusiasm about partnering with RESN. He emphasized how this alliance would enable more people across the region to experience the charm and excitement of RubberDucks baseball firsthand. With captivating narration provided by seasoned broadcasters Jim Clark and Marco LaNave, audiences are set to enjoy every moment filled with action-packed performances from promising Cleveland Guardians prospects.
This innovative broadcasting effort marks a new era for local sports enthusiasts eager to follow their beloved RubberDucks without stepping foot inside Canal Park. By leveraging modern technology alongside traditional media outlets, RESN ensures everyone remains connected regardless of location constraints. As anticipation builds leading up to these highly anticipated games, there’s never been a better time to join fellow fans cheering on their team towards victory!
