Twins heading back to WCCO

From my understanding of how some of this works with radio I will present a wayward bit of information. In radio ad revenue is dependent on ratings. No ratings, no revenue.  The stations would have to hope that the ratings increase at the station would boost the station overall so all of their spots are worth more.  The upper limit is the to what baseball is worth is the Yankee deal worth between 15-20 million per year.  WFAN keeps the people who listen to the games throughout the day, the station makes money.  The Twins ratings locally must not be so good.  The Twins likely received very little money from th rights.  Broadcast revenues get shared, station profits go into the family pockets. They must not be making enough to make it worth their while. to continue.  I don't bet on things out of my control but I would bet money on Pohlads being the most interested in positive cash flow.

You mean you don't think the Pohlad's own radio station gave the Twins much money? Shocker.

What I most care about is whether the stream is ****ty AM radio again. It shouldn't be but the tech on this kind of stuff is usually out of the box and quite a bit behind where it should be.

I don’t get what you mean here. The source audio will be clean if you’re listening through an app.

Its going to stink when the Wolves (currently on CCO) are in the NBA Finals and the Twins get sidled to some other channel.

 

 

Who are these Wolves you speak of?  NBA finals?
