Buffalo World Series Only on WLVL 1340 am in Buffalo Market

Depends who's doing the call on each broadcast.

If you're a passionate fan of a team, it's fun to listen to your home announcers who've been there all the way through and know the team inside and out, instead of the more generic national call.

If it had been the Mets in the series, I would absolutely have preferred to hear Howie Rose on 880 instead of the network TV call.

And as a lifelong Red Sox fan, when I think back on 2004, the voice I hear calling the Series win will always be Joe Castiglione on WEEI and his "Can you believe it?!?"

Any time that clip shows up now, I guarantee you you're most likely to hear Castiglione's radio call as the audio, not Joe Buck on Fox TV.

If the Yankees win this year, it'll be the same way with whatever over-the-top call Sterling ends up delivering as his finale... and you bet I'll be listening on 660 to hear it.

I will admit I don't watch or listen to Baseball unless the is the compelling reason of an entertaining annoucer (Harry Carrey RIP etc) which can make it not like watching paint dry repeating endless stats. I do enjoy Baseball games at all levels in person. The game seems to move faster in person.

I remember the 'bad boys' of elementary school, who would sneak a transistor radio into class, and listen to the playoff series when there were weekday afternoon games. Do kids even listen anymore? 🤔

Why would they when they can watch highlights on their phone?

I don't know if the rules have changed or if I misunderstood them, but sure enough, Yankees network affiliates are getting the Sterling/Waldman WFAN call for the Series.

Hearing it now on WNBL 107.3 in the Rochester market.

Sterling was absolutely in shock after the Freeman walk-off

A Grand Slam Homer to win a World Series game is sort of shocking and rare. Joe Carter hit a 3 homer that won the World Series for Toronto in 1993. That was Game 6.

Yankees on the brink of getting swept tonight. Ratings have been good for TV, but even better in Japan due to Ohtani. A sweep would be a let down considering the hype for this match up...
