Fire to air English game broadcasts on WLS-AM

Max Thoma and Dasan Robinson will call the games. Thoma is in his fourth year as the play-by-play voice of the South Bend Cubs, and Robinson, an Evanston native, played six seasons for the Fire (2006-11). He also has called games for Chicago House AC, which plays in the Midwest Premier League. Max Anderson, who calls Illinois amateur hockey, will call select games.

WLS-AM broadcasts at 890 kHz—890 on the AM radio dial.

The first broadcast will reportedly be this Saturday’s home game against New York Red Bull. Too bad they won’t be starting with tomorrow night’s Chicago Fire-Chicago House U.S. Open Cup game.
