A familiar voice on the New England sports airwaves will be joining the WEEI Red Sox radio booth for some games this season.

Worcester Red Sox broadcaster Tyler Murray — who has also been heard for years calling college hockey games on NESN, along with college basketball and football games — has been added to the WEEI roster, the radio station announced ahead of Opening Day.

Just last weekend, Murray was calling the Hockey East Championship on NESN.

“On the heels of calling the Hockey East Tourney this weekend & adding to his excellent @WooSox work, happy to announce that Tyler Murray (@LT__Murray) will be helping to build our @soxbooth bench this year!” WEEI posted.

Murray’s first Boston Red Sox series with WEEI will be April 5 to 7, on the road against the Los Angeles Angels. He’ll be in the booth with Will Flemming.

During the offseason when WEEI put up a job posting for a “Red Sox Play by Play/Analyst Announcer,” speculation swirled about Flemming’s future role with the broadcast team. Audacy Boston’s WEEI said the station was “simply building a bench.” Meanwhile, Flemming was a finalist for the Chicago White Sox TV job, but that Windy City broadcast role went to ESPN’s John Schriffen.

“Very excited to work with the great @WillFlemming, who I’ve learned so much from over the years, for about 20 games this season,” Murray posted on Wednesday.

“Coming up on 13 seasons in @MiLB, it’s not lost on me how fortunate I am to have this opportunity,” Murray wrote. “Thank you to @KenLairdWEEI, @mikethomasmt8, and to everyone who has reached out. Your support has honestly been overwhelming and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

In addition to calling games for the Worcester Red Sox, Murray has also called Toronto Blue Jays Spring Training games on the Sportsnet Radio Network.

Murray, who studied Broadcast Journalism at Boston University, is the lead broadcaster for the Hockey East Game of the Week on NESN. He also calls UMass basketball and football games on the UMass Sports Network.
