WLW's ID and Alternate Programming

I hadn't been listening to the over-air top-hour news open all that closely, so I didn't know if it had a "WLW Cincinnati" in it (which would still function as a legal ID, even after the spoken one was already read). Up here, Cleveland's "Big One", WTAM, does the ID in the news open.

As mentioned, Sloan has to be available even if there's a Reds game, as games can get rained out. Or at least when there's a chance of a rainout.
But if there's no weather, maybe they'll give him the night off.
Here's what's going on this afternoon, per their schedule:
----------
12:30-4PM THE CINCINNATI REDS @ NEW YORK YANKEES
700WLW’s Joe Nuxhall and Steve Stewart…LIVE from Tampa.
(West Virginia at Cincinnati basketball available on XM 173 and 1360 Homer)
----------
And sure enough, XM 173 is playing the Bearcats game feed from 1360 Homer...
Interestingly, the Reds/Yankees game is NOT being carried on any of XM's MLB channels, from either team's network. I don't know how many Spring Training games XM carries, though, and I know they've also got the World Baseball Classic in the rotation. There are other Spring Training games up this afternoon.
