Overview
The Memphis Grizzlies Radio Network is the regionally delivered sports radio network that carries game coverage of the National Basketball Association franchise the Memphis Grizzlies. It is structured as a joint venture between the franchise and Skyview Networks, a sports audio and content distribution company. The network has broadcast Memphis Grizzlies basketball since the team relocated to Memphis from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 2001, making it the audio home of the franchise across the Mid-South region. The network distributes live play-by-play and related game programming to a set of affiliated radio stations. Its affiliate footprint spans five states — Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, and Mississippi — reflecting the Grizzlies' regional fan base centered on Memphis. Flagship and affiliate stations carry the broadcasts, with WMFS serving as a key Memphis outlet and Grizzlies.com serving as the franchise's official online presence. As a brand, the Memphis Grizzlies Radio Network functions as the radio-rights and distribution arm of the Grizzlies' game-day audio product. It is not a standalone consumer goods brand but a media property tied to the NBA franchise, monetized through affiliate carriage and sponsorship. Its identity is inseparable from the Grizzlies brand and from Skyview Networks' distribution infrastructure.
History
The Memphis Grizzlies Radio Network traces its origin to the relocation of the Vancouver Grizzlies NBA franchise to Memphis in 2001. When the team moved from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to Memphis, Tennessee, a regional radio network was established to carry its game broadcasts. The network has broadcast Memphis Grizzlies basketball continuously since that 2001 relocation. The network operates as a joint venture between the Memphis Grizzlies franchise and Skyview Networks, a company specializing in sports audio distribution and network operations. This structure allows the franchise to retain control of its audio product while leveraging Skyview's distribution and affiliate-management capabilities. Over time the network built an affiliate footprint across the Mid-South, covering Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, and Mississippi. Stations in these states carry live game coverage, connecting the franchise with fans beyond the Memphis metropolitan area. WMFS has served as a key Memphis affiliate, and Grizzlies.com acts as the franchise's official online destination. The network remains active as the radio home of Grizzlies basketball, distributing play-by-play and related programming to its affiliate stations each season.
