Dominic Cotroneo announced on X that he is departing WTMJ, where he had been a fixture on Milwaukee Brewers coverage since 2022.
Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Baseball
Dominic Cotroneo announced on X that he is leaving WTMJ radio, saying the decision was his own. He has no fixed plan for what comes next.
Why it matters
Cotroneo had been a regular voice on Brewers pregame and postgame coverage for WTMJ, the flagship station for Brewers game broadcasts for nearly the franchise's entire time in Milwaukee. His exit removes a familiar presence from the station's Brewers lineup for listeners in the Milwaukee market.
Cotroneo began his Brewers postgame role midway through the 2022 season and is 32 years old. The announcement came from his own post on X, and no replacement or next employer has been disclosed.

Season Trajectory
Cotroneo's move comes as he continues independent baseball labor-history work on the Service Time podcast. The timing sits ahead of an expected Major League Baseball lockout beginning Dec. 1, 2026.
Listeners who followed Cotroneo's Brewers Extra Innings and Brewers Weekly shows will need to find new postgame and weekly coverage on WTMJ. Brewers.TV viewers who relied on his talent stats work will also see a change in the broadcast lineup.
The takeaway
A departure from a long-running local broadcast role can reshape how fans follow their team's postgame coverage. Listeners tracking the Brewers should watch WTMJ's announcements for who will fill the slots Cotroneo leaves behind.
What happens next
