Dodgers Sign Three-Year Deal With Clear Channel, Move Local Radio Broadcasts To AM 570

The Dodgers today finalized a deal with Clear Channel to move their English-language radio broadcasts from 790 KABC to AM 570 Fox Sports LA. The contract is a three-year deal that runs through 2014 and covers marketing as well as game broadcasts.
"Clear Channel’s all-sports format will elevate the Dodgers in terms of coverage and significantly enhance our fans’ engagement with the club. Through this strategic partnership, the Dodgers will now have the opportunity to connect with the millions of listeners that tune into Clear Channel’s wide-reaching AM and FM stations," said Dodgers Chief Revenue Officer Michael Young.
All 162 regular season games, any potential postseason games, and at least seven spring training games will be broadcast on AM 570 and the 22 affiliates of the Dodgers Radio Network.
In addition, postgame DodgerTalk will run "for at least one hour after every game," which wasn't always the case on 790. There will also be a nightly one-hour version of DodgerTalk at 7 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays from the beginning of spring training through opening day.
What we don't know is whom will be the host(s) of DodgerTalk. Josh Suchon and Joe Block were under contract with KABC, and it is yet unknown whether or not they will make the move over to KABC. This season was Suchon's fourth season as co-host of DodgerTalk, the first three with Ken Levine, who was one of several former Seattle Mariners broadcasters to return to broadcast games this season as a tribute to former Mariners' announcer Dave Neihaus, who passed away in November 2010.
Suchon and Levine had a great rapport and made the show a fun listen after Dodgers games, regardless of the strength of the callers. Suchon also put on a good show with Block, who was in his first season on DodgerTalk after hosting a similar show for the New Orleans Hornets. Block also called Jacksonville Suns games when they were a Dodger affiliate, including when Matt Kemp, Chad Billingsley, Jonathan Broxton, James Loney, and others were there.
Block didn't fill the comedic shoes of Levine, an Emmy-winning television writer who wrote several episodes of M*A*S*H and Cheers, among other projects, but Block didn't necessarily have to. Block and Suchon are good natured hosts who treated callers fairly and presented a fun show that was easy to listen to.
Whomever is hired to host DodgerTalk in 2012, they will have some big shoes to fill.

In other news, Matt Kemp was named as the Dodgers nominee for the 2011 Hank Aaron Award, given to the top offensive performer in each league. Fans can vote on the award on MLB.com, through October 9. The award will be presented during the 2011 World Series.

All-time slugging percentage leaders
by a catcher (at least 50% of career games at C) with 2000+ PA:
Mike Piazza .545
Mike Napoli .514
Roy Campanella .500 (.4996, but who’s quibbling?)
You can’t blame the Angels for not predicting Napoli would go absolutely banana this year, but to not just give away a player like Napoli but take on the worst contract in baseball in exchange for him might be the most horrible trade of All Time.
Minor League Central @mlcentral @andrewngrant
You can't blame them for not knowing he'd have this season
but you can when he’s an established power-hitting catcher and your other option is Jeff Mathis.

should have been conger, but of course… Mathis

Context!
Dioner Navarro would have been a .120 OPS increase over Mathis, and would have looked like Mike Matheny compared to Conger.
does it matter?
his ops was like 160 points higher… and he would probably get better
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
Question
if a 75% success rate is the threshhold for stolen bases to be worth the attempt, would >25% caught stealing rate be where a catcher needs to be to be considered good?
I love Josh Suchon and hope he sticks around. If he gets replaced with some yard like Dave Vassay(sp?) I’m gonna be annoyed. At least A Martinez is banished on 710.

In every sport I played (baseball, basketball, soccer, and even golf in high school (nothing better than getting to play all the golf courses in Vegas for free)) I would untuck my jersey or shirt the second I was done with the game / match. I don’t know why I did it but I always did and it only had to do with sports. When working or being dressed up for events I will go all day long with my shirt tucked in and never think of untucking it.
I only untuck like that
1) just before eating room service in front of the TV
2) when I’m about to take off my pants to sit in my underwear in front of the TV
3) when there’s no one home
I have stopped tucking in my shirt entirely.
magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri.

I find that I am always moving to the other side of the teeter totter on Jeter
For people who think he is the greatest, most clutchiest of all time – I say “Nay”
For people who think is is overrated and sucks – I say “One of the greatest ever”
Can it be that everyone is wrong on Jeter but me? Could he really be the test case for the most overrated and underrated career / ballplayer of all time?
I know this, I would have loved him as a teammate

or maybe he isn’t overrated. He owned the postseason and has been a great SS for many many years.

That’s right. The trouble with Jeter, for me, is not what he is, which is one of the very top shortstops of all time and an easy choice for the HOF; the problem is that many Yankee fans proclaim him to be what he is not — a great fielder, the greatest SS of all time, etc.

I don’t think there is any doubt that he has been very, very good for many, many years. To me, that’s a hall of famer. It just so happens that his numbers back him up.
No doubt Jeter is a worthy HoFer
but as a fielder he’s exactly the type that makes people bicker. He’s usually had a fairly low error total for a SS (career high of 24 in ‘00, since then he’s never had more than 18, and usually in the 14-15 range), which makes the old-schoolers think he’s a great glove man, but according to most advanced metrics, he’s not good: definitely worse than below average, but for the most part he hasn’t been terrible.
But… thats enough to make some of us hate him, just because so many people gush over him as the greatest player of his generation.
Or A-Rod, Barry, Pujols, Chipper, Manny…

It's not what you look like, when you're doin' what you're doin'

if it has nothing to do with your company’s responsibility then I’m not sure I want it on my review. “Wasting time ordering parts for that bagel machine business you must be running on the side Mr Scott!”
That's why I said
if its big enough. In any case, it makes you more valuable to the company. That’s managers look for. Obviously they will take advantage of it, but its more often in your interest to do special work like this rather than say its not your job. Take advantage of the opportunity to shine.

Sorry if this is dense
but how can the Dodgers make any kind of financial deal (talking about the radio one) when ownership is in limbo? Is it because the radio rights are separate entity from the team itself? TIA
The TV rights would have been run the same way. The only difference is, the TV RIghts deal lasts for another two years and the Dodgers want to be able to renegotiate those two years. Let’s go back to when the rumor was $3Billion over 15 years, I liked those days.
Theres also the fact that the radio deal can’t be leveraged to get Frank out of debt, because with the Dodgers radio ratings, this deal has gotta be worth all of twelve bucks.

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
I’ve heard it before, but at this point I have no idea if everyone is simply repeating what they read/heard or if it is really a fact. I just find it hard to believe they actually had to pay someone to broadcast their games, and I suspect it was a comment that has become myth. I could see Laker fans making this comment all the time when deriding the team much like the Sterling financial situation when in fact we know that DTS was one of the few NBA owners who turned a profit even in his Sports Arena days.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
It kind of plays with EMDarrow’s take regarding the Dodgers radio ratings. Dodgers games are on the radio everyday for 6 months and I assume they have a pretty solid following. If they do have terrible ratings, I can only imagine how bad the Clippers radio ratings were (particularly pre-Griffin.) Games start later and there are fewer east coast games so you lose the commuter listeners most of the year. Also, I don’t find it absurd that the Clippers would pay for the right to air the games. It’s essentially a marketing expense.

I was unimpressed with the take of “worth all of twelve bucks”
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Okay so it was a bit of hyperbole
But as I recall radio deals don’t exactly pay well, and the Dodgers aren’t exactly in a position to sell high given the season they just came off (with regards to attendance and such, not standings).
At least in 2010, the Dodgers didn’t rank that well in radio ratings, they were at the bottom end of the top 15 in total listeners, and aren’t even in the top 15 in share.
Yea not that many at all
I just very much doubt radio brings in much money. Exposure sure, but not much money.
For example, as I recall the first season of mlb online radio brought in all of $5 million total, split equally between everyone. I’m sure its gone up by now and I’m sure actual radio deals have far more value, but I can’t imagine the revenue brought in from a radio deal brings in much more then, say, what it cost to pay Dioner Navarro this season.

Financial terms of the agreement weren’t revealed, but Davison said the Dodgers aren’t being paid a flat fee for broadcasting rights.
“Both the station and the team have a vested interest in the success of the radio deal,” Davison said. “There are no caps. The sky is the limit.”
The Dodgers will receive a share of the advertising revenue generated by the broadcasts. Advertisers will have the option of buying advertising in packages that cover multiple mediums, including on Spanish-language broadcasts on KHJ 930 and signs in Dodger Stadium.

Tampa Bay Number One Picks in the Postseason
David Price (number one overall)
Delmon Young (number one overall) – Traded to Twins, traded to Tigers
Josh Hamilton (number one overall) – Rule Five to Cubs, traded to Reds, traded to Rangers
J Upton (number two overall)
Evan Longoria (number three overall
Jeff Neiman
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Tampa had 3 number one picks in 2011 and 7 Supplemental number one picks in 2011
That means they picked 10 guys before anyone got their first second round pick.

Buck O’Neil was a great man. This is known. If you haven’t read “The Soul of Baseball”, it might change your life, a little, for the better. It did mine
The museum he helped found, to honor the Negro Leagues, can use some money. For Buck’s birthday – you can donate a $100 bucks and get a plaque. I know a $100 dollars is a lot for many folks, if you can’t you can’t, but if you can…do it for Buck, I am sure he’d appreciate it
I dedicated my plaque to my 3 nephews. They are getting the plaque + a copy of the book for Christmas
thank you for considering it – here is the link

Ok, somewhat big day for video games that I actually would like
NBA 2k12 came out today, supposedly more awesome than last year’s version, which was very great. One thing I read was that if you play with the Bill Russell 1960s Celtics, the presentation of the game is in black and white and the announcers announce like they are back in that time. That sounds freakin awesome.
A new spiderman game is out as well, though I HATE that it’s not freeroam, it still sounds like it could be cool. I was disappointed with the last Spiderman game, but this one sounds like it could be way better.

The new one is a sequel to the old one I’m pretty sure, so if you didn’t like the old one…
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
I think they are made by different companies
Either way I wasn’t a fan of the noire aspect of the last game and the future wasn’t great, which i know it will be in this one, but I love the element of the time split and doing something in current day affecting the future instantly.

Chrono Trigger was an awesome game

We seem to have this Jeter debate once a month. If all other baseball blogs do the same thing, I’m guessing Jeter’s overratedness is one of the all time discussion starters.
Arod is a complete asshole, makes 29,000,000 and can barely outhit Boom Boom these days when he’s able to actually play. Maybe that should be chewed up a bit.

I can understand not liking LaDuca after the trade, him being a dick and all, tagging out two Dodgers at the same time, steroid dealer for the stars, but I’d have been hard pressed to find someone in July of 2004 who was a Dodger fan and did not like him, so this was a curious comment from Mike.
Him being a Shawn Green fan, I can understand him not wanting his hero called out for not attempting to the utmost of his ability to catch a catchable ball while his pitcher was throwing a no hitter.
