fox sports --- NYC & Phillly ?

Ive been told clear channel would like to air fox radio sports in NYC & Phillly.
But where? Maybe on 1480--AM Phillly. Or maybe on FM at some point in
NYC & Phillly. does clear channel own fox radio sports or operate it for Fox ?
 
Clear Channel could flip one of it's New York FM's to sports (or even WOR-710, with WOR's call letters and current talk format moving to one of the company's FM stations) with, but not completely, 24/7 Fox Sports Radio.

At the moment, the New York Mets are looking for a radio flagship for 2014. And while the Islanders hockey team has a small network on Long Island this year, I would think the Isles would like a "big signal" New York station for their flagship once they begin play at Barclays Center in Brooklyn next Fall.

I expect CC will be the prime contender for radio rights to both teams, which would provide local pro sports play-by-play twelve-months-a-year for such an all-sports station.

If CC lands the Mets, expect Fox Sports 710 or Fox Sports 104.3 (with a couple of local New York-centric shows along with most of the FSR lineup) to launch in-time for the beginning of pre-season baseball next March.
 
but I heard they want to get fox sports radio on in larger cities.

This is the same problem they just had with Rush. They want to get their syndication on in big cities, but they don't own a lot of AMs. They could run Fox Sports in overnights on WOR. But that's their best option.
 
Given the lack of success ESPN radio has had on 98.7 I would highly doubt they would blow up a solid station like Q104.3 for Fox Sports which isn't even nearly as good as ESPN radio.
 
Ive now been told fox sports radio, NBC sports radio & Yahoo sports radio want to be on
the air in medium markets not in major markets. That makes no sense to me.
Unless they don;t want to compete with CBS sports & ESPN in major markets.
