Texas Rangers Introduce 2025 TV Broadcast Team
January 29th, 2025
The Texas Rangers have unveiled an exciting lineup for their 2025 TV broadcast team, ensuring fans have a thrilling viewing experience. The core of this team is returning from the previous season, including Dave Raymond, Mike Bacsik, David Murphy, Emily Jones, and Jared Sandler, all of whom bring years of expertise and passion to the sport.
New additions to the team bring fresh perspectives and energy. Laura Stickells will join Emily Jones as the primary field reporter, and former Rangers infielder Elvis Andrus will appear as the pregame and postgame analyst for about 40 games. This lineup promises exciting and informative coverage for all fans.
Elvis Andrus Joins the Broadcast Team
Andrus formally retired as a Ranger in September after a 15-year MLB playing career. His achievements include being the Rangers’ all-time leader with 305 stolen bases and the all-time franchise postseason leader in games played (42), hits (46), and stolen bases (nine). Andrus played 2,059 career games with the Rangers (2009-20), Athletics (2021-22), and White Sox (2022-23).
Andrus expressed his enthusiasm for his new role, saying, “I love to talk, I love to have fun. So for me, it was always important being able to get along with the media. I love to interact with the media because the media is the bridge to the fans.” He added, “I’ve been talking to quite a few guys, especially Barry Larkin. He said to always make sure to remember how hard it is to play the game. So long as I can maintain that, I’ll have fun.”
New Broadcast Additions
Laura Stickells joins the broadcast team as the primary field reporter. She brings four years of radio and television work in the Boston area, where she served as a reporter and host on NESN’s broadcasts for the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox in 2024. Stickells also has experience in college hockey coverage for NESN and ESPN+.
Emily Jones, the Rangers’ longtime field reporter, will reduce her number of games in the upcoming season, allowing Stickells to share the responsibilities and bring fresh insights to the team.
Introducing Rangers Sports Network (RSN)
The Rangers Sports Network (RSN) will carry 30-minute pregame and postgame shows hosted primarily by Jared Sandler. These shows will be simulcast on the club’s radio partner, Audacy’s 105.3 The FAN (KRLD-FM).
RSN has partnered with several traditional cable and digital television providers, including DirecTV, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T Uverse, and Spectrum. Each provider will have its own channel dedicated to the Rangers Sports Network, giving fans multiple viewing options.
Season Pass Options and Pricing
Fans in the Rangers’ television territory can purchase a season pass to watch all Rangers games and selected Spring Training games on Victory+ for just $100. This offer provides affordability and convenience for big fans.
“In conversations with [Rangers majority owner Ray Davis], Ray had the vision to control our own destiny,” said chairman of the new Rangers Entertainment and Media Company, Neil Leibman. “This initiative not only secures our own future but also ensures that all Rangers fans can watch the games in various formats.”
Conclusion
The Texas Rangers’ announcement of their 2025 TV broadcast team highlights a commitment to providing top-tier content to fans. With returning stars and new additions, along with a revamped distribution network through the Rangers Sports Network, the upcoming season is sure to be a memorable one.
