Re: MLB on free-tv? Who'da guessed?

My original schedule may be more accurate than the personal email schedule I received - ME-TV lists 1 Jun as next game.

Just curious: are there radio stations in Hawai`i that still broadcast MLB games? (I'm one of those old futs who prefers baseball on radio to television.) If so, what teams?

As of now, only KUMU-AM is broadcasting MLB, with Sunday ESPN games and SF Giants games on days whenever nothing local (i.e. UH or high school) is going on.

Up until 10 years ago, KGU was an all-sports station and was an affiliate for the networks of the Dodgers, Giants, and Angels. This meant that they usually had multiple live games to broadcast during the early and late afternoon time slots.

Ah, those were the days.

Easy fix: Juss move to the Bay Area, sign up for COMCAST cable, then watch SF Giants / Oakland A's to your heart's content. See? No big ting.

Not free, though.

Re: MLB on free-tv? Who'da guessed?

I see, you assumed that they were going to broadcast those listings.

Yes, I did, simply because I took them at their word when those listings were under the heading: "Programs airing within the next 2 weeks." Then, as you noted, if you click on the individual listings, you get this (for all but one listing): "We're sorry, there are no broadcasts of this TV show in the next two weeks." Since I am not an employee of KITV or Tribune Media Services (provider of the Zap2It listings), I am not in a position to explain the discrepancy or conflicting information provided on their website.

Try that site, then do a search for "San Francisco Giants." Maybe they will update it in a few weeks with even more listings.

I see, you assumed that they were going to broadcast those listings. Try clicking on the listings and you'll see they are not expecting to broadcast them (other than the one I previously mentioned). I think my list may be comprehensive, though 5 other games just might also enter the mix. I hope this benefits others interested in watching.

I find it an exciting development - MLB has priced poor fans out of the game, now we get to rekindle some sort of a relationship. It's good for me.

Point taken. A few televised games are better than nothing. Perhaps I have gotten jaded and spoiled over the years. What I think of as meager offerings from the local OTA stations could very well be looked upon by others as an absolute glut of baseball broadcasts that subscriptions to MLB.TV and cable provides.

How odd, when I check that site, I just get the game I listed and no others.
