The New York Mets Radio Network (previously, the WFAN Mets Radio Network) consists of 7 stations (5 A.M., 2 F.M. and 3 F.M. translators) in New York state. A Spanish-language broadcast airs separately from the English-language network.

The English language flagship is WOR, which acquired the radio rights to the Mets during the 2013 offseason.[1][2] The Mets had previously aired their games on WFAN since the station was founded in 1987, and factoring in the station's predecessors the relationship dated back to 1983. The relationship with WFAN ended following the 2013 season when the station acquired the radio rights to the New York Yankees from corporate sibling WCBS. The Mets' move to WOR makes the team the first professional team since the now-Brooklyn Nets to air its games on the station; the Nets left WOR in 2004 to join the Mets on WFAN. WEPN is the Spanish flagship.

Howie Rose and Josh Lewin alternate play-by-play and color commentary on the broadcasts, with Seth Everett serving as pre-game and post-game host. Ed Coleman previously hosted the pre-game and post-game shows, which were called Mets Extra by WFAN, and served as a substitute broadcaster when necessary (usually for Lewin, who in addition to his Mets duties is the radio voice of the San Diego Chargers and is forced to miss weekend games in September in order to fulfill those duties). However, in January 2014 it was announced that Coleman would not be part of the WOR broadcasts as he has been employed by WFAN since its inception. (Although WFAN personalities Chris Carlin (who is no longer employed by WFAN) and Marc Malusis have been heard on WOR through its broadcasts of Rutgers University sporting events, WOR does not produce Rutgers' games and is instead an affiliate of its radio network.)
