Milwaukee Brewers baseball will be on your radio Friday and on your TV starting Sunday.

The Brewers laid out their spring training broadcast schedule Wednesday, announcing that 11 games will be televised by Bally Sports Wisconsin and 16 will get carried over Milwaukee radio (or the web), many on AM-620 WTMJ.

For the Cactus League opener Friday, March 18, against the Dodgers, it's a radio-only broadcast, with a 3:05 p.m. Central first pitch. The broadcasts will kick over to 94.5 ESPN radio in Milwaukee in some cases, and they're expected to feature Bob Uecker, Jeff Levering, Lane Grindle and new addition Josh Maurer throughout the spring.

Update: Turns out you can watch Friday's game online, too, as part of MLB.com's "free game of the day," so long as you don't mind a Dodgers crew on the call.

An audio webcast will be available for Milwaukee's game against the Texas Rangers on March 19, starting at 3:05 p.m.

The Brewers' game against San Diego on Sunday, March 20 at American Family Fields will be the first TV broadcast of the season, starting at 3:10 p.m. Announcers Levering, Brian Anderson, Bill Schroeder, Tim Dillard and Sophia Minnaert will be part of the nine home-game broadcasts.
