Announcers

Paul Olden and Charlie Slowes were the Devil Rays' original radio team, broadcasting games from the teams' first season in 1998 through the 2004 season.
Andy Freed and Dave Wills formed a new radio team beginning in 2005. Freed had worked in sports broadcasting covering many sports, most recently for the Pawsox Radio Network and Trenton Thunder, while Wills had spent 11 years as a pre and post-game host on the Chicago White Sox radio network after having previously been the radio voice of the Kane County Cougars. The two worked together for 18 season and were voted the best radio team in the American League in a 2020 poll. However, the partnership ended suddenly when Wills died just before the start of the 2023 season.
Neil Solondz joined the Rays Radio Network in 2012 as a pregame and postgame show host after having spent the previous eight years as the radio voice of the Durham Bulls, the Rays' Triple-A affiliate. Following the death of Dave Wills, Solondz was promoted to join Andy Freed in the radio booth.
On the Spanish broadcasts, Ricardo Tavaras does play-by-play and Enrique Oliu provides color commentary.
