BASEBALL ON WPHT 1210

T

The Phiilies Sunday night baseball game is currently being streamed on the internet on WPHT 1210. I thought WPHT is forbidden to carry their streamed Phillies baseball games on the internet due to MLB contractual restrictions. Can anyone explain this current internet baseball stream? Is this a technical mistake?

I guess. ALL MLB games on radio are to be streamed on www.mlb.com only I think
 
Actually, that game was the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game, so the "rules" don't apply, and all audio can be streamed. That is because It is a national telecast.
 
An ESPN Baseball Game on Philly Radio! ::)God has heard your prayers, Julius.

It was the local broadcast of the Phillies game that was on WPHT 1210 AM, not the national ESPN radio broadcast of Sunday Night Baseball.
 
I never said it was an ESPN feed, you clowns. The simple fact that it was a nationally televised game makes streaming the radio feed from WPHT on the internet totally legal and within MLB guidelines. Duh.

You are incorrect about the ESPN game on WPHT. The game being streamed Sunday night was the local WPHT guys.

Sorry, I stand corrected. The wording was confusing to me. I should have said that the local Phillies broadcast on 1210 AM was also on the 1210 AM stream, correct?
