Update on the radio front

Not to beat a dead horse with this subject, but there is some positive news when it comes to spring Angels games being aired live on the radio. The Angels just announced that starting Monday (March 10) all weekday spring games will air live on 830-AM, the team's new flagship station. That's good news for those fans who are making the daily rounds in their car and want to catch a few innings while sitting in traffic. All games had been airing on the radio on a tape-delayed basis. Weekend games will continue to get the delayed treatment.

To repeat, this entire episode is happening because the Arte Moreno-owned 830-AM was prohibited from airing spring games live because of contract obligations with existing shows. It seems those weekend shows have a tighter contract than the weekday shows. Once the regular season starts, Angels games will get priority over all existing non sports programing.

And for those who already have grown comfortable listening to free live broadcasts on the internet, the Angels have said those games will continue to be free. The games on the internet can be accessed at angelsbaseball.com.

In a late addition to this update, weekend replays of Angels games on 830-AM that conflict with Ducks broadcasts will air following the hockey games.
