Controversy Regarding Des Moines Radio Coverage Of The World Series
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.

Sunday Night Football Is Off To It's Best Start In 17 Years
Through the first 7 weeks of the NFL Season, NBC's Sunday Night Football is off to the best start ever for an NFL prime time package of telecasts in 17 years.

Game 6 Of The ALCS Puts Up Big Ratings
The Sunday afternoon slate of NFL games are in the book and I noticed some tweets this afternoon from the PR group at Fox Sports regarding the decisive game 6 of the ALCS last night on Fox Sports.
Game 6 last night recorded an overnight rating of 5.5/10, good enough for 9 million viewers, up 20% from last year's game 6 of the NLCS which was on Fox.
In addition, last night's AL Pennant clinching win for Boston was the best rating for Fox in a League Championship Series since game 6 of the 2010 NLCS.

2013 World Series Broadcast Schedule
The ALCS wrapped up last night with Boston winning the AL pennant and I'm sure the executives at Fox are excited for a Fall Classic featuring two teams from rabid baseball cities and with fans all over the country. This should be a very high rated Fall Classic. Game 1 is this Wednesday night in Boston. Below is the schedule and all times are Central.
Game 1: Wednesday, October 23: St. Louis @ Boston 7:07pm on KDSM
