Attention Pirates! - PUT the games BACK on KDKA-AM Radio!

Why?

Because last place didi NOT sound better in FM stereo.

But mainly because KDKA-AM covers far more territory outside
Pittsburgh. Thousands of Pirate fans and potential Pirate fans can't
hear the game anymore.

Example: If you live in State College, you can get the game on the
local AM radio station.

But if you live ten miles outside State College, you can't hear the
local AM station. KDKA was the only way to hear it.

You sure as hell can't get it on any FM station out of Pittsburgh!

Ditto for Charleston West Virginia, Eire Pennsylvania, Williamsport
Pennsylvania and Altoona Pennsylvania, etc. etc. etc.

And by the by, putting the games on an FM in Pittsburgh is NOT going
to attract "younger" listeners. They have this strange idea that
they like to listen to "WINNING" teams. That leaves out the Pirates
fo the last fifteen years, or basically since McLatchKey and the Nutts
took over as owners.

Put a winning team on the field and they younger people will
"discover" Pirate baseball.

falling on deaf ears

The same thing happened in Detroit, St. Louis, and Atlanta
and probably a few others. It's all about the money and
MLB.com broadcast, XM satellite radio. Now this one is a
TUFF pill to swallow because it means I will not be able to
listen to Bucco games here in South Carolina.
