Did you have to compete with other ethnic broadcasters to win this business? Is MRBI carrying the MLB post-season games in any markets besides Boston?

I imagine that most of the games will be played at night and so you will not have many conflicts with the Russian programming on WAZN, but I can't imagine the Russian broadcasters being happy about relinquishing any of their time--although clearly they have to pay only for the time you make available to them.
 
A couple games in the next round have starts about 4 pm but most are 7:30, 8:30, etc and all
World Series (Series Mundial?) games are at night

I don't know how Mr. Kline operates his stations, so I can just speak from my experience when I was buying time on a station in suburban Hartford. My contract stated that the station reserved the right to take the time back for their own use with or without notice. I had a 13 week contract, but was on a week to week payment schedule, so I'd pay the GM at the end of each show. If I was unable to do a show on a particular week I just notified the GM and he'd run a filler show during my time slot. My show was canceled before the end of the 13 weeks because the group leasing the station 6AM-6PM took over the remainder of the broadcast day.
 
We miss a couple of the games that start early (4pm, weekdays)
but we will be carrying the rest. The feed is through ESPN, and a
deal was made for a number of our company-owned stations to
carry it, in different cities...
