Anyone know if WKNY 1490 in Kingston, New York has ever streamed on line or a reason why they don't stream their station live ? I have great memories of WKNY & WGHQ in the 1980s... Bill Baker reminded me of Dan Ingram for some reason..very talented! Mike Lawrence was great on WGHQ too...anyone know if Mike Lawrence is still in radio any where ?

WKNY does not have a website at all! I checked Google and it doesn't have an official website for WKNY. What's wrong with that? 
Anyways, I remember when WKNY used to have a Yankee games every season, but too bad, Yankees baseball is on "The Wolf" at 94.3. I hope Yankees baseball should go back to WKNY someday.
As I mentioned, Yankees baseball should not belong on "The Wolf", because it doesn't sound good on FM, I guess it should belong on AM. Look at WCBS-AM, they do the same thing on the AM band. I hope WKNY should bring Yankees baseball back probably next season or so.

You tell 'em. Nobody wants to listen to ballgames that actually come in at night.

Re: Riiight
In fact, baseball broadcasts on AM radio usually increase nighttime listenership (i.e WCBS-A, WABC), however....
during FM games in most cases nationally, audiences have either decreased or remained relatively stable...no real noteworthy audience increases, although billing has benefitted somewhat in some smaller markets.

Re: Riiight
Com'on. WKNY doesn't even reach outside Kingston well DURING THE DAY! And at night, forget it, you have to be right next to the transmitter. Not to mention that, well, who the hell listens to the station anyway? If you want to listen to baseball on AM so bad, put on 880 or 660. The Yankees are great on 94.3. I'm so glad I don't have to listen to staticy AM.chacha said:

Re: Riiight
The lawyers at Major League Baseball would be most interested to learn that a Yankees affiliate is broadcasting games online.

Re: Riiight
I believe its been explained that because WTSX is outside the metro NYC area and the station is a small market station they are permitted to air the games online. There might be other reasons I'm not remembering as well.

Re: Riiight
WIRY might be in a whole different situation being that they are 18 miles from the Canadian border...I know this as I use to live a mile from the WIRY studios. I don't think the lawyers of WTSX Port Jervis are stupid so they probably have the rights to air the Yankee games online.

MLB sells their game audio broadcasts
It's about 15 bucks a year. So why would they let anybody give it away for free?
Wikipedia: "Radio stations (including flagships) may not include MLB games in the live Internet streams of their station programming."
Period.

I suggest you call WTSX Radio and find out...then you can share the answer how they are doing it...
