The Boston Celtics will be making WEEI the new radio broadcast home of the next season, Celtics managing partner Wyc Grousbeck announced this afternoon on WEEI‘s The Big Show.

Boston talk station WRKO 680 broadcasted this past season’s games with the duo of Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell serving as the commentators.

The Celtics said in a press release this afternoon:

The Boston Celtics and Entercom Boston announced today that they will move the broadcasts of Celtics games from Boston’s Talk Station, AM 680 WRKO to Sportsradio 850 WEEI beginning with the 2007-2008 season through the term of the current agreement. For the past two seasons Celtics games have been broadcast on WRKO.

Both Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell are expected to remain as the play-by-play team. Executive Director of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge and Head Coach Doc Rivers will continue to make their weekly appearances on WEEI during the season.

In addition, the Celtics and Entercom will continue to promote the team’s games across Entercom Boston’s network of stations including WRKO and WAAF and the WEEI New England Network made up of WEEI FM 103.7 in Providence, WVEI 1440 AM in Worcester, and WVEI FM 105.5 FM in Springfield will serve as regional affiliates of the broadcasts.
