"We look forward to growing Braves programming and hearing our games on All News 106.7 while we continue to give Atlanta Braves fans throughout the Southeast the best radio broadcast in baseball with Don and Jim at the helm."

The agreement includes all 162 games per season which will air on two Atlanta flagship radio stations, WCNN The Fan 680 AM  and translator W299AG 93.7 FM, and new in 2014, the broadcast will shift from rock WNNX 100.5 FM to an even stronger signal on All News WYAY-FM 106.7.
