Strangis retired from the booth after the 2014–15 season and was replaced by Dave Strader. This is done because AM radio signals often cannot penetrate concrete and steel building exteriors. Like other NHL teams, the Stars now have a live radio broadcast transmitted inside American Airlines Center on 97.5 FM. Although both the DFW-area's large media market and the team's fan base could theoretically support separate television and radio broadcast teams, the Stars have continued simulcasting due to the popularity of "Ralph and Razor" (as they are known) among local listeners and viewers. Fornes left the broadcast team after the 1995–96 season Strangis moved to the play-by-play role and color commentator Daryl "Razor" Reaugh was added. The original broadcast team from 1993 to 1996 was Mike Fornes (play-by-play) and Ralph Strangis (color). The Stars, along with the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes are one of only three NHL teams to simulcast the entirety of their games on TV and radio, which the team has done since their 1993 arrival in Dallas. Television coverage occurs primarily on Bally Sports Southwest (BSSW), with KTXA (Channel 21) or BSSW+ broadcasting games when BSSW has a conflict. KTCK replaced WBAP 820 AM, which had broadcast games since the beginning of the 1994 season after KLIF has broadcast the first season in Dallas in 1993.
