The New England Patriots Radio Network is a CBS Radio network which carries live game broadcasts of the New England Patriots. The network's flagship station is WBZ-FM/98.5, located in Boston, Massachusetts. Gil Santos, former WBZ sports reporter who was known as the "Voice of the New England Patriots" retired after the 2012 season (during the Patriots' December win over the Dolphins that season part of Santos' radio call was simulcast by CBS television in recognition of his time with the team) and was replaced by Bob Socci, who now does the play-by-play with former Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak providing the color commentary and former Patriots linebacker Matt Chatham and WBZ-TV/WSBK-TV sports reporter Steve Burton providing the sideline reports. Marc Bertrand and Boston Globe sports columnist Chris Gasper host the pregame (when one of them is unavailable Greg Dickerson fills in), and the postgame show is hosted by Bertrand and former Patriot Steve DeOssie. Former hosts of the network's pre- and postgame show include Gary Tanguay, Andy Gresh, Bill Abbate, Mike Ruth, Tim Fox, and Pete Brock. Albert Breer is a regular guest analyst on the network's pre-game show.
