I guess I won't be listening to any more Rockies games....

until KOA gets rid of Rush Limbaugh.

Here is their crappy-ass Premiere Radio Networks corporate excuse on their web-site:

(3-5-12) 850 KOA is committed to providing its listeners with access to a broad range of opinion and commentary without condoning or agreeing with the opinions, comments or attempts at humor expressed by on-air talent. We respect the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him, to express those opinions. The contraception debate is one that sparks strong emotion and opinions on both sides of the issue. Last week, in an attempt at absurdist humor to illustrate his political point, Mr. Limbaugh used words that unfortunately distracted from the message he was trying to convey. We believe he did the right thing on Saturday, and again today on his radio show, by expressing regret for his choice of words and offering his sincere and heartfelt apology to Ms. Fluke.

I wish they'd get rid of Mike Rosen and Brownie too. They are the #1 station in Colorado, but I only listen to them during Dave Logan's show and Rockies & Bronco's games.

You can help to get rid of Rush by sending an e-mail to: Publicrelations@premrad.com

You'll still get your games, only the announcers will be cheering on the other guys.

MLB has exclusive rights to the streaming of regular season games.

Anyway, El Supremo isn't going to be boycotting listening to the Rockies because of Limbaugh..

I can see TV, but I'm talking over-the-air radio here, that's concurrently streamed....

Again, MLB has exclusive rights to all regular season radio broadcasts. You can listen free if you're in that particular team's home market or if you're somehow close enough to pick it up over the air after the sun goes down...and that's it. You can only stream the broadcast from somewhere else if you pay MLB. Check out what it says at KNBR, which is the Giants flag station..

I seem to be able to get the Red Sox games over the air in northern Maine, on a local station, too. It's a feed from another network, but it does the trick.

Wonder if there's any access via shortwave?
