Major League Baseball on FM (flagship station)? It's that way in Atlanta, Kansas City, and Wash DC. You get better sound on crowd noise and "bat hitting the ball", and "no static at all" on those thunder-y nights. N.E. Patriots are on FM (WBCN) for similar reasons.

Suggested slogan for WBOS if they pick up the team: THE STATION THAT ROCKS YOUR SOX

I'd think Greater Media's FM talker, WTKK, would be more of a better fit for the team (have them on a talk station). If _that_ were to happen it would displace Jay Severin (lots of pre-emptions) but Jay's contract with WTKK is just for a year so he could move to WRKO or WBZ if need be.

Personally I'd love it if they could be on WMKK "Mike FM" which comes in very well where I work (and I work nights!)

Well now WEEI won't be accused of being part of the cartel anymore.

I guess the down side is that the signal doesn't travel as far....

I'd like to know why many sports teams are using FM stations to broadcast their games. The problem with FM is that it's limited to line of sight for radio reception, which means a very small coverage area listeners. Compare this to KNBR (680 kHz AM); their broadcasts of San Francisco Giants games can be heard almost throughout the western quarter of the continental USA at night--that's how strong the signal is.

That, I think, would be a very good thing indeed.

Since Severin has gone syndicated he has gone psycho.

His commentary is no longer insightful but is now grating.
I want to reach through the radio and choke him when ever he says "the war in Iraq-nam".
