<P> The Stars, along with the Buffalo Sabres, are one of only two NHL teams to simulcast the entirety of their games on TV and radio, which the team has done since their 1993 arrival in Dallas . The original broadcast team from 1993--1996 was (play by play) Mike Fornes and (color) Ralph Strangis . 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 . 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 . Like other NHL teams, the Stars now have a live radio broadcast transmitted inside American Airlines Center on 97.5 FM . This is done because AM radio signals often cannot penetrate concrete and steel building exteriors . </P> <P> Strangis retired from the booth after the 2014--15 season and was replaced by Dave Strader . However, as of the 2016--17 season, Reaugh has assumed play - by - play duties while Strader undergoes cancer treatment, with studio analyst and former Stars defenseman Craig Ludwig taking over as color commentator . </P> <P> The Texas Stars are the affiliate of the Dallas Stars, who after becoming unaffiliated with the Iowa Stars of the AHL, did not have an AHL affiliate for the 2008--09 season . The Texas Stars began play in the AHL in the 2009--10 season . They are located in Cedar Park, Texas (Northwest of Austin). </P> <P> The Idaho Steelheads are the Stars' ECHL affiliate . Based in Boise, the Steelheads have played home games in CenturyLink Arena Boise since 2003 . </P>
