Future of Philadelphia Phillies games on radio

[Jul]

Does anyone think that Phillies will sign a new radio deal with CBS radio to remain on the current 2 stations or perhaps move the games to one station, WIP or WPHT, or on one of their other sister stations, like KYW, WOGL or 96.5, or perhaps the Phillies sign a new radio deal with Iheartmedia or Greater Media to air their games on one of their stations? The current radio deal with CBS, expires after this season.

Forgot to add 92.5 WXTU which is owned by CBS radio.

You were just fine forgetting WXTU, throw in 96.5 as well- there is about a 0% chance the Phils end up there.

That said, it will be interesting to see if the Phils try to get an FM home or an AM-FM deal, which would put them on WIP or WIP and WPHT. Perhaps Greater Media will make a play to get them on 97.5

I don't see them going to iHeart under any circumstance.

iHeart has nowhere for them. Period. CBS is not going to put them on the music stations (overflow conflicts aside). Period.

Greater Media could, if they have the cash and inclination, try to stick it to WIP and gain some summer PBP action, and then dump overflow to the music stations during the occasional conflict, just as the Flyers go to WMMR now when needed.
