Cleveland Cavaliers on WKJK 1080

[radiofan502]

Tonight I was scanning the AM dial and came across play by play of the Cleveland Cavaliers on WKJK 1080. At first I thought I was hearing 1100 WTAM from Cleveland but I double checked to make sure it was 1080.(And I heard the WKJK ID during the game) Wonder why they are broadcasting their games and if the games have been on since the start of the NBA season? Not sure if they still are but I know that the Indiana Pacers used to be on WXVW 1450. Don't seem like there would be many NBA listeners in Louisville.
I also remember when the New York Yankees baseball games were on 1570. Anyone remember that?

There was a story last October about iHeart renewing its Cavaliers deal with their Cleveland cluster. There was probably language in that contract requiring some other smaller iHeart markets to pick up the games, too, whether they wanted them or not.

Just wondering approximately when the Yankees' games were on radio in Louisville? I recall the White Sox games on WLAP in Lexington in the early 1960's.
