The Detroit Tigers have announced that television play-by-play voice Jason Benetti and radio play-by-play voice Dan Dickerson have signed multi-year extensions to keep them on Detroit SportsNet and the Tigers Radio Network, respectively.
Ryan Gustafson said that Ilitch Sports + Entertainment is proud to have Benetti and Dickerson as the voices of Tigers baseball.
"(We're) grateful for their eagerness to make an even deeper commitment to our organization," said Gustafson, president and CEO, in a statement. "Jason and Dan, alongside many others, continue to deliver an entertaining and informed broadcast that is among the best in baseball."
Benetti joined the Tigers ahead of the 2024 season as the team's lead television voice. Widely regarded as one of the industry's premier broadcasters, Benetti recently joined NBC Sports as the voice of Sunday Night Baseball, among other network duties.
Dickerson made his Tigers debut in 2000 alongside Hall of Fame broadcaster Ernie Harwell and succeeded him as the team's lead radio voice in 2003. This past season was his 27th on Tigers radio.
A three-time Michigan Sportscaster of the Year and recipient of the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association's Ernie Harwell Lifetime Achievement Award, Dickerson is regarded as one of the best broadcasters in the sport – and one of its best teammates.
Dickerson will continue as the radio voice of the Tigers under his new agreement, while calling an expanded slate of games on Detroit SportsNet.
