Yankees and Mets Switch Univision Stations

[stationless listener]

The Yankees and CBS Radio announced that Yankee games in Spanish will be aired on WADO starting this season: http://www.rbr.com/radio/radio-programming/22543.html

Meanwhile, the Mets made a deal with WQBU 92.7 FM for this season: http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/pr...ent_id=8832146&vkey=pr_nym&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym

Of course, they fibbed a bit about the coverage of that station. I have a hard time getting it in Manhattan, sandwiched in between WXRK and WPAT. However, folks in Queens and western Nassau, where the Mets are really strong, would have an easier time. I don't know why the Mets couldn't get on WPAT, which is a bonafide full-power signal, which would reach the folks in New Jersey much better than WQBU could. It's not like the Amor format would be that incompatible with baseball when a station broadcasting Mexican music has already aired baseball games.

The Yankees win again.

On a side note: Does anyone think that baseball can work on full-power FM, English or Spanish?

Football seems to work on FM, so why not baseball?

Of course, being a traditionalist, I won't listen to the FM coverage of football if an AM station is within ear-shot.

The Rangers have a dual Flagship radio station. KRLD-FM 105.3 for games played on Monday-Friday. Saturday and Sunday games are broadcast on KRLD 1080 AM.

Baltimore Orioles flagship is 105.7 FM "The Fan" (WJZ-FM Catonsville)

How 'bout putting the Yankees on 87.7 FM? Just a thought. It would get better ratings than the current format.

You mean, Korean play-by-play of Yankees baseball, right?

And Indie Darkroom will play during intermission.

Make that Caribbean instead of Korean.

Well, at least the Caribbean World Series would have a home on the dial
