All we get in Phoenix is a half-hour pregame and "call-in"
after games. (Neither of which are worth listening to.)

A weekly show (what's going on in the minors, what's up with
injured players, etc.) would be nice to have.

I like Roe Cahn and Gary Meyer. They aren't political like
Don Wade or Jay and Eileen. I miss Catherine Johns.

WMVP is ok

In the Bay Area all of the top rated stations are AM. I don't know of any
baseball teams that are on FM only.

We had the old battery powered transistor out and were listening to
the radio, to candle light, the other day.

They bill themselves as "Newsradio". They are the 50,000 watt clear
signal for a reason, such as when there's an emergency. Considering
the region was recovering from a major blackout which included a water
crisis, it really seemed they should've pre-emted some of this
frivolous baseball coverage to help the community. For example,
regular updates on the location of the emergency water distribution
centers. I felt what they did was irresponsible.
