No value in free radio

| | Comments (1) |

The Angels are supposed to be giving fans free access to their live radio game broadcasts via the internet, but on Day 2 of the arrangement, there is a problem. An Angels representative admitted there was an unidentified issue with accessing the broadcast for free. Instead, listeners are being asked to subscribe to Gameday Audio for $14.95 or to MLB TV. The Angels say they are looking into the problem with MLB but it looks things might not be free again until Monday's game at the earliest. The only thing the team is saying is to keep trying to link to the broadcast.

The Angels are supposed offering free radio broadcasts on their website (angelsbaseball.com) because existing contracts at their new flagship station (830-AM) are preventing the team from airing spring games live over the airwaves. When the regular season starts, Angels games are supposed to have priority over existing programing.

It's pretty sad that Arte can't use his radio station to air what he wants. Most of the games seem to be on at times when the air time is sold to other people. Just return their money and say you can use the time the games would be aired later. Does anyone listen to anything on 830 anyway? I sure don't.

Arte should have just stuck with KSPN if this is what happens with his own station.
