Was wondering who (is) carrying Devil Rays baseball in Spanish on 1400 AM, such as today, a home game, vs. Marlins. Wow, the Devil Rays home page is such a mess, not unlike the team, no easy reference to check. I suspected it (was)WZHR, Zephyrhills (not parallel 1340 WTAN-Clearwater or 1350 WDCF-Dade City, both in English). Thank God, finally a legal ID at 4:20 p.m. (albeit a canned string for all three stations). "As near to top of the hour as possible..." uh... huh.

This is unprecedented. It's even worse than nearly twenty years ago when the Indians were on a highly-directional 5kW lightbulb and every other team was on a 50kW blowtorch. I'd love to see how much spots on this network run...

Don't the same Spanish Beisbol Network people run the Spanish radio networks of other teams the same way? The buy the rights from the team, put together a broadcast package, get advertisers, sell the ads, buy time on local stations, and viola games air in Spanish?
Going to http://www.nmia.com/~roberts/media05.html I count the follow teams as having SBN as their Spanish rightsholder:
Boston Red Sox (Spanish Beisbol Network WROL-AM 950)
Chicago White Sox (Spanish Beisbol Network WRTO 1200 AM)
Philadelphia Phillies (Spanish Beisbol Network WPWA-AM 1590)
Tampa Bay Devil Rays (Spanish Beisbol Network WZHR-AM 1400)
Not too bad having 4 teams in growing hispanic markets which are underserved. They were also going after the Pirates last I heard.
The Devil Rays got better coverage in this deal than they did with WAM. They get all 162 games now instead of just the 81 home dates. They also have 2 rimshots that more people can hear.
Of course, my Marlins have WQBA handling their spanish radio, but Univision doesn't own any stations in Tampa.

My understanding is that the Rays now own their network and buy time on all the stations they are on. Since WHNZ upraded to 25kw a couple years ago, their signal is actually better than 1450's in most of Sarasota, except downtown. WSRQ's transmitter is still out at city island at the old studios if I recall.
Speaking of the old studios, they are in such disrepair that someone should remove the signs of the stations that were once there.
