Questions about XM baseball broadcasts...

[cybercub]

1) Do the home teams' broadcasters call the game or does XM have their own people?

 

2) Are ALL games brodcast on XM or do blackout restrictions apply?

If the Cubs are at home it's Pat and Ron broadcasting..If they are away it's the home teams broadcasters. No Black outs at all.

There are no blackouts with XM radio. They do not have their own broadcasters and either will use the home or away team. Usually it's the home broadcasters, but that is not universally true.

The only exception is during the playoffs: then they'll have both the HOME and AWAY broadcast teams. I think for the ALCS, NLCS and World Series they had three options: HOME, AWAY and the national Westwood One broadcast teams.

 

I have an adjustable time delay on my home receiver so I synched up the XM broadcast with the FOX TV signal so I wouldn't have to listen to the world's worst TV announcer: Tim McCarver. Was amazing during the NLCS game 5 to listen to the differences between the St. Louis and Houston broadcasters after Pujols' monster home run.
