The Yankees should be on the Fan. Put the Mets on an HD-3, shortwave or one of the ham bands.
Out of those 3, I'd say HD radio has the least amount of listeners. I hate the Mets, so I agree with you. |

Has any decision been made for the Yankees Radio Network and WCBS-AM 880, once the 2012 playoffs end, of course?

... and with WFAN moving to FM, it will be interesting to see next year if the Yankees on AM alone gets better ratings than the Mets on, at the very least, FM alone.

The Yankees on SCA would get bigger ratings than the Mets on 5.1 channel surround sound.

I had to Google SCA in order to get the joke... thought you might have meant the now-defunct SportsChannel America network... |

In 2013, most Mets games will air on 660 AM and 101.9 FM, while the Yankees air on 880. The big change will come in 2014 when the Mets move to 98.7 and the Yankees air on 101.9. By then 660 will be the flagship of CBS Sports Radio. That's just MHO!  |

Keep in mind that Disney once owned the California Angels/Anaheim Angels/Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim baseball team starting in 1995. They sold the team to current owner Arte Moreno in 2003.
It was around the same time that they owned the Mighty Ducks Of Anaheim?Anaheim Ducks NHL hockey team.
This was during the Michael Eisner era which ran from 1984-2004. Under Robert Iger (2004-present), Disney has gotten out of the sports team business.
The media holdings they currently hold are ABC-TV (broadcasting and cable channels) , ESPN (TV), a few O+O ESPN stations and Radio Disney.
I don't think they'd be getting back into sports ownership. I don't see Disney shelling out $2 billion or so (see latest L.A. Dodgers sale) to own the Yankees just to have broadcasting rights.
I see the comparison being similar to Cablevision's ownership of the Knicks and Rangers and Madison Square Garden and the associated cable networks (MSG, MSG+), thereby bypassing paying those teams for the rights to telecast their games.
On the reverse angle, would the Yankees ever want to own (or partially own) a radio station in much the same arrangement as the YES regional cable network? Likely not, as there'd never be enough programming to fill around the times the Yanks aren't playing. While the Yanks can use YES as a promotional vehicle for the team, the same thought doesn't translate well to radio year-round.
And as long as there are suitors such as CBS Radio willing to throw millions at them for radio rights, why change anything?
