[IRCA] Re: Baseball



Art,
 
I don't think they want anyone to listen.  I did way too much digging around for this, but on their web site's Stadium Rules page, they have the following tucked away very carefully.
 
<begin quoted babble>
 
All home and away games will be broadcast on COOL 1450AM.  Brett Dolan will be calling all the action for his 5th season for Sidewinders.  Ryan Radtke will join Brett in the booth.  KQTL 1210 AM Radio Fórmula will broadcast all 72 home games in Spanish.  Calling the action is one of Mexico?s most recognized sportscasters, Juán Córdova Santamaría.
<end quoted babble>
 
Now, here's the caveats...
 
1. It doesn't appear that their webmaster has crawled out of the cocoon yet this year.
2. The Sidewinders were on KTZR-1450 last year.
2. KTZR is now KWFM.  I don't know if a format change accompanied the call change, or if change(s) affected their sports broadcasting relationship.
3. The station refers to itself as "Cool 1450."
4. In keeping with the rules of high-intensity obfuscation, their web site is www.pantera1450.com, with no external references to "Cool 1450."
5. There is also no reference to anything pertaining to the Sidewinders...perhaps its not "Cool."
6. I looked up the announcer, who name is plastered everywhere on the internet.  He will be "the voice of the Sidewinders" again in 2005, but nobody will say exactly where.
7. There isn't a KQTL web site to peruse, so I don't know if the Spanish side is as confused as the non-Spanish side.
 
In a nutshell, I got a very educational tour of Tucson's news and sports web sites, but I got more caca than data.  Maybe they'll say more by the All Star break.
 
I think I'll go chase the dog around the yard...
