By the way regarding World Series on the radio, due to an MLB rule only during the World Series, only the flagsghip station of the team network can carry their own broadcast (for example, WEEI-FM 93.7 in Boston area). All other stations of the Red Sox network have to air ESPN radio’s version.

The same applies to LA—their flagship station gets the hometown version, but affiliates get ESPN radio. However if you get XM/Sirius you could still get the “hometown” broadcast.

It’s Fox on TV.

In the off-season I would like that changed. But that is me.

I have Radio.com which carries both WTIC AM and WEEI FM. Since I have a smartphone and bypass that rule and listen to Joe and Tim color commitary on WEEI FM, I tried to see if will work. It didn’t.

Very interesting... I didn't know that. Thanks!
