: I've heard something about a possible "shadow" arrangement with Newstalk 560 WIND when the Blackhawks & Cubs conflicts on Newstalk 720 WGN starting next month, but there's nothing concrete concerning possible contingency plans that I'm aware. Factually speaking, due to Major League Baseball broadcast rules, radio broadcasts are not available on the flagship station's respective Web sites. That means if you wanted to hear a Cub game if not on WGN Radio, you couldn't listen online to wgnradio.com, 670thescore.com for the White Sox, or even ESPNradio.com to hear the national feed. You can listen to the game audio I believe via a link on the teams' respective Web sites. Keep in mind that the Hawks are also in the first of a three-year deal with WGN Radio as the team's new flagship station. : : The Cubs aren't allowed on the internet, so it is likely that they will be on WGN Radio. Not sure if The Hawks will be only on the internet or if another station will take the feed like they do with NU and WIND. : : : : Speaking of conflicts, has Newstalk 720 WGN determined which station will be a "shadow" for the Blackhawks and/or Cubs starting next month? I know there will be some conflicts between the two teams with the Hawks very likely participating in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs this spring. You'd like to think that the Hawks' new flagship would carry the team's quest for Lord Stanley's Cup all the way through, but a certain North side baseball team might force the city's hottest sports team to another outlet. : : : : : : : Judd Sirott. He is going to be in AZ. to do a few pre, post and in-game duties. In the meantime, Jim Memelo will take over doing The Chicago Blackhawks when there is a conflict.
