The Milwaukee Bucks Radio Network (branded as the BMO Bucks Radio Network) is a 16-station radio network in Wisconsin and Michigan that broadcasts basketball games and related programming for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association. Since the Bucks inaugural season, WTMJ/620 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has served as the flagship station for the network.[1]

[edit]

Former Dallas Mavericks broadcaster Ted Davis was part of the BMO Bucks Radio Network from 1997 to 2021.[2] Dennis Krause, the sports director of Spectrum's local news channel Spectrum News 1, was part of the Bucks Radio Network from 1996 to 2021.[3] Davis did play-by-play for every game, with Krause providing color commentary at home games.

After the 2021 NBA Finals, which ended with the Bucks' winning their first NBA Championship in 50 years, Davis announced his retirement in August 2021.
