Dating back to 1942 under its Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS) title, AFN provides radio and television to U.S. troops, DoD civilians and their families serving overseas. AFN features eight television services, all of which originate at the Defense Media Center in Riverside, California.
For fans at home, both games of the doubleheader can be seen on NBC Sports Philadelphia and heard on Sports Radio 94 WIP.
