A's Baseball = No Radio Broadcast
If this starts a trend, I hate it. Nothing against streaming but radio baseball is one of life's joyful experiences...

Not overstating this, one of my favorite things to do is to listen to day time baseball on the radio in the backyard during the summer time.
Not to mention the comfort of a broadcast while you're taking a long drive on your car radio. |

It's not that they are not on the radio, just not on the radio in Oakland. They want to move from there anyway, don't they?

Different sport, but the NHL's LA Kings left AM and went to iHeart radio a few years ago. Kinda mystified me because for people - like me - that drive a lot and bounce around on AM radio, if I were to stumble onto a Kings game (my NHL team), I'd listen. But I won't go out of my way to connect my phone, launch iHeart radio, etc...

I don't think the A's had a radio or TV contract for a while during Charlie Finley's ownership because he was so cheap.

You know why Baseball is going to kill this goose? Because it is the last way you can enjoy a ballgame live without having to pay for it. Baseball figures that for what it makes from radio broadcast rights, it will more than make up for in paid subscriptions. Welcome to the 21st Century! Having fun yet? No? Then open up your wallet more, fella!

Love baseball radio, time to listen to some Spring Training! :happy:
(MLB do make some money, as normally their ‘At Bat’/app subscription includes all radio broadcasts) |
To listen to the radio games on the MLB app for the year costs half what it does to watch the games on the MLB app for one month, least it does here.
