Broadcasters[]

All of the Flames' radio and television broadcasts were simulcasts. The Flames' games were televised over-the-air on WTCG 17[1] and on the radio by WSB (AM). Jiggs McDonald[2][3] was the main play-by-play announcer with Skip Caray[4] substituting from 1976-80. Color commentators included Andy Still (1972-73), Bob Neal (1973-74), Ed Thilenius (1974-75; home and televised games only), Bernie Geoffrion (1975-79), and Bobby Harper[5] (1979–80; home games only). Pete Van Wieren[6] also did play-by-play for the Flames.
