Right now on WIP

Putting the national games on 610 makes a lot of sense. With all that is going on sports wise in Phillie right now, keep 94WIP talking local.
 
I'm wondering what happens when the Sixers and Flyers play at the same time. Sixers on 610WIP and Flyers on 94WIP? That's if there is a basketball season this year.
 
That could be the solution. Instead of passing the games to 1210 or anohter station, you can split them between WIP AM & FM.
 
I dont know anything about sports radio so someone please help?
as far as any sport (baseball, baskitball, football) no matter what there are lots of different feeds, right?
Local teams (like the Eagles and Phillies) have there own radio network, then there's the national network too.
Then ESPN has a radio network also? so does Fox?
Were you saying earlier that national broadcast was on WIP-AM and the local eagles network was on FM?
Or are you saying the national feed was on AM while the FM had local hosts and programming.
Thanks! for a non sports guy that is j just curious how the radio side of the teams work.
 
On Monday night, when there was just one NFL game played (St. Louis @ New York Giants), WIP could have aired the game on both its AM and FM frequencies, but chose not to. This was the Westwood One national feed of Monday Night Football. Anyone in the Philadelphia area who wished to hear WFAN's local (Giants) call of the game would either need to dial up WFAN at 660 AM, or listen on HD Radio; if I'm not mistaken, WFAN can be accessed in Philly as well as other markets with a sports radio FM station.

Hope this helps!
 
Monday night, yes, it was the Westwood One broadcast which has the national rights to NFL radio broadcasts. They have nation feed of 1 or 2 NFL games on Sunday afternoon, the Sunday Night Football game, and Monday Night Football. ESPN radio has the national rights to MLB. CBS was broadasting this Westwood One MNF game on 610 WIP while local sportstalk WIP programming was one the new WIP-FM station. I was pointing out the fact that is not a 24/7 simulcast on the 2 WIP stations.
On the radio, all 4 major league sports have local radio stations (or a local network of stations) broadcasting the game.

You are mistaken as to Philly. WFAN is available on an HD FM station in Washington, DC and certain markets in Florida, but not in Philly.

So, nobody knows if WIP(AM) aired national NFL coverage on Sunday afternoon while WIP-FM was airing Eagles Pregame (in advance of an 8 p.m. start)?
