Why no radio coverage for baseball?

Post by Bleeding Orange »

Seriously, baseball is one of the best radio-friendly sports out there. I noticed in '33's post that Penn State has a radio feed for baseball, so why the heck can't we? I know that I, for one, would follow BG baseball much more closely were I able to listen to it online...

I would guess it is because of one main reason as well as others, $$$$$. But I agree and would love to be able to listen to BG baseball.

It would be up to athletic dept. to get a real radio deal. WBGU can't cover the entire season because it is entirely volunteer and student run and it would be next to impossible to cover post-commencment games, and they are really not budgeted to do road games anytime of the season. Those are the reasons only a handfull of home games in late March through May are on the air.

Speaking of, I will post the broadcast schedule for baseball very soon. What a great win today against Penn State, anyone have a link to the box of that game?
