The Des Moines minor league teams (Cubs, Barnstormers, Wild, Energy, and Bucs) buy the air time to air their games on Central Iowa radio and pay for the time buy selling advertising. It's a win for local radio stations just like the home shopping & religious pay for carriage on cable & satellite systems.
The Iowa Wild of the AHL have purchased air time on KXNO for the radio broadcast of their games. KXNO is an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardnails radio network and thought it would be no big deal to shift the World Series broadcast of Game 2 to sister station, WHO. Evidently not. Just check out Marty Tirrell's Twitter timeline for proof.
To be honest, if I was the Iowa Wild, I would be giddy to have a Wild game on the night time blowtorch signal that is WHO Radio. Problem solved.
