What Radio Station Is the Packers Game On

101.1 FM in Green Bay and 95.7 FM or a local AM affiliate in Milwaukee are current places to hear the Packers game; the right Packers Radio Network affiliate depends on where you are listening. The network has 54 stations in six states, so there is no single Packers frequency for every listener. Use your current listening market, not the city you support, to choose a station.

How Packers Radio Coverage Works

The Packers Radio Network carries the team’s local game call before, during, and after Green Bay games. Wayne Larrivee handles play-by-play, with Larry McCarren as analyst.

A station’s call letters and frequency can change over time, and older web lists may still show former affiliates.

Your location, not whether you have an AM or FM radio, determines the correct Packers station.

You may have more than one usable option in a market. Milwaukee listeners, for example, can choose an FM or AM affiliate. La Crosse and Wausau also have current options on both bands, which is useful if one signal is noisy or weak.

How to Find the Packers Game Station

Start with the market where your radio is located. This table covers the most common Wisconsin searches and the best current starting point.

Listening market	Packers radio station	Practical choice
Green Bay	WIXX-FM 101.1	Green Bay affiliate
Milwaukee	WRIT-FM 95.7 or WOKY-AM 920	Choose the listed station you can receive.
Janesville	WJVL-FM 99.9	Janesville-area affiliate
Lake Geneva area	WJVL-FM 99.9 may be usable	It is the Janesville affiliate; reception at your exact location decides
La Crosse	WKTY-FM 96.7 or WKTY-AM 580	Use the FM signal if your radio does not receive AM
Wausau	WSAU-FM 95.1 or WSAU-AM 550	Use the FM signal if that band comes in more clearly
Other markets	A local Packers Radio Network affiliate	Match your location to the current network affiliate map

Step 1: Choose the Market You Are Actually In

When driving or traveling, update your station selection as you move.
Choose the listed market that contains your radio’s current location.
If your town is between two markets, try the closest listed affiliate first, then try another network station that has a stronger signal.

Step 2: Tune the Station and Try the Alternate Band if Needed

Set the radio to the listed AM or FM frequency.
Listen for Packers pregame coverage, game talk, or the live broadcast near kickoff.
If the station is weak, switch to the alternate affiliate in that market when one is available.

For example, Milwaukee has both WRIT-FM and WOKY-AM, while La Crosse and Wausau each have an FM option alongside AM. FM is often easier to hear cleanly in a car or indoors, while AM can sometimes travel farther from its transmitter.

I use a portable AM/FM radio to compare AM and FM options before kickoff, because it changes bands without relying on cellular data.

Step 3: Tune In Before Kickoff

Packers Preview Pregame begins 2 hours before kickoff. Turn on the affiliate by then if you want lineup news, injury updates, analysis, and the full lead-in to the game.

The network carries the live play-by-play during the game. After the final whistle, Packers Playback runs for 15 to 20 minutes before the longer postgame programming begins.

When Your Market or Station Listing Is Different

In Green Bay, WIXX-FM is the Packers affiliate. In Milwaukee, WRIT-FM and WOKY-AM are the network choices.

La Crosse listeners do not need to rely solely on the AM signal because WKTY also carries the Packers on FM. Wausau listeners likewise have WSAU available on both bands.

Outside the major markets in the table, the official Packers Radio Network affiliate list and map identifies the Packers affiliate for your listening area. This is useful when a nearby affiliate may be different from the one used in a larger city.

Listening Beyond Local Radio Coverage

Use an over-the-air affiliate when you are within range of its signal. If you are far outside network coverage, an online station stream may be an option, but do not assume every stream carries the live game.

Sports broadcasts can be handled differently from a station’s regular programming.

A game can be available on a television network in your area while the Packers radio call is on a different local station.

Get a Clearer Packers Radio Signal

Reduce AM Interference

AM is more susceptible to electrical noise than FM. If an AM affiliate has buzzing, clicking, or a constant hum:

Move a portable radio away from phone chargers, USB power supplies, LED lamps, laptops, and TVs.
Slowly rotate the radio while listening; many AM radios receive best from one direction.
Try a window or another room if indoor electronics are causing interference.
In a vehicle, verify the station while parked before driving.

Improve Weak FM Reception

For an FM affiliate with static or dropouts:

Extend the radio’s telescoping antenna, if it has one.
Move the radio closer to a window or higher location.
Try the station in another part of the home or vehicle.
Switch to the market’s AM backup station when one is available.

A clear broadcast should sound steady between plays and during announcer talk. Occasional fading while traveling is normal because FM coverage changes as you move away from the station’s service area.

Avoid Delays When Following the Game

A radio broadcast, TV feed, and internet stream may not stay perfectly synchronized. If you are watching the game while listening to the Packers call, expect one feed to be ahead of another.

For the closest match, use one primary feed rather than trying to force a radio stream and a TV stream to line up. If you are listening with friends who are watching on separate devices, use the radio as the shared source for the live call.

Confirm You Have the Live Game Broadcast

Use these quick checks before assuming you have the right station:

You hear Packers Preview Pregame in the lead-up to kickoff.
The announcers are discussing the day’s opponent, current roster news, and that day’s game.
The broadcast switches to the live field call at kickoff.
Commercial breaks are followed by the Packers broadcast team, not a different game or regular station programming.
If one affiliate is not carrying the game, you try the alternate AM or FM station for that market.

If you hear another program close to kickoff, check that station’s game-day programming and then try the other listed affiliate. When traveling, repeat the market check as you enter a new coverage area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What FM Station Are the Packers On?

There is no single FM station statewide. The Packers are on WIXX-FM 101.1 in Green Bay, WRIT-FM 95.7 in Milwaukee, WJVL-FM 99.9 in Janesville, WKTY-FM 96.7 in La Crosse, and WSAU-FM 95.1 in Wausau. Other markets use their own Packers Radio Network affiliate.

What Radio Station Carries the Packers in Lake Geneva?

Try WJVL-FM 99.9 if it comes in clearly where you are. WJVL is the Janesville-area Packers affiliate, and its usefulness in Lake Geneva depends on your exact location and reception conditions. If WJVL is weak, try another Packers Radio Network station that has a stronger signal at your location.

Can You Listen to Packers Games on Radio for Free?

Yes, an over-the-air Packers Radio Network affiliate is free to hear once you have a working AM/FM radio and can receive the signal. You do not need a subscription for a local broadcast signal. Internet listening is different because a station’s live game stream may not always be available.

Can I Listen to the Packers Game on iHeartRadio in Canada?

Maybe, but it is not guaranteed. A station carried on iHeartRadio may have a live stream that does not include the game in every location. Confirm that the specific Packers affiliate is streaming live game audio before kickoff, or use an over-the-air affiliate if you can receive one.

What Time Does Packers Pregame Radio Start?

Packers Preview Pregame starts 2 hours before kickoff. Turn on your local affiliate at that point for the full lead-in, then stay on the station for the live game call.

Does Packers Radio Continue After the Game?

Yes. Packers Playback runs for 15 to 20 minutes immediately after the game, followed by Packers OT postgame coverage. Leave the radio on after the final play if you want the first reactions and analysis.
