1. Furman’s an idiot.
2. Furman says that Clear Channel has set a max price for the Reds’ rights – but there’s no indication that another station in town would pay more.
3. See point #1.
1. Furball is a gossipmonger.
2. Furball isn’t the brightest bulb on the tree.
Let’s make sure this rumor doesn’t gain traction, cuz it ain’t gonna happen.
WLW’s signal covers something like 17 states at night in the summer. It would have to be a substantial amount of money for the team to give up that kind of coverage and long-time association with the flagship.
Anyone thinking the Cardinals wish they had not gotten so greedy for a low-powered signal after about 800 years on KMOX?
Some would argue that the new stations can make up the coverage by networking out. But like in Jay’s case above, the locals may not want the games any longer or they can make better money on some other programming.

Oh, and 3. I just wanted to say Furball. It should probably be more like Frizball.
In addition that Furman was fired by Clear Channel/WLW, so he’s not exactly a non-biased viewpoint.
I didn’t even know the Furball was still in town.
I’d say ditto to all points made in the comments above.
I’m upset that my local station – which had carried Reds games for decades and decades, dropped it this season. So, I’m ticked about that.
