Baseball on the Radio
The St. Louis Cardinals have been on KMOX (1120 AM) for 52 years. They two sides are currently in negotiations for next season, and it doesn't look good.
Cardinals President Mark Lamping, unhappy with what KMOX has called its final offer to the team to retain its radio rights beyond this season, said the club no longer is focusing on that bid. Instead, the team is concentrating its efforts on deciding whether buying into KTRS and moving the broadcasts there, as has been discussed for months, is feasible.
Going to KTRS, of course, would be a mistake. Maybe not a huge mistake, but a mistake. You can pick up KMOX in Cincinnati at night. I know this because I've done it myself. You can't pick up KTRS in some parts of the St. Louis metro area at night.
This subject was discussed last week at baseballthinkfactory.org (which, I can't say enough, is just a fantastic site). Hey, look who has the first post on that discussion!
In related news, I'm seriously considering purchasing an XM Radio just for the baseball coverage. This subject, wouldn't you know it, was also discussed at baseballthinkfactory.org.
