This story relates to our discussion this week about radio. KDKA Radio has been carrying Pittsburgh Pirates baseball broadcasts since 1921. But the team has dropped the old-school AM station in favor of a Clear Channel affiliate, ending one of the longest running broadcast partnerships in sports. Here's the story from the Pgh Post Gazette.

This is a sad case. It is always sad when rituals of the past are broken and new more powerful entities like Clear Channel come in and take over. The only thing good to come from this is those who are away can listen to the game online and also the Pirates might see more of a monetary benefit (maybe that's why it was done).
