t appears the Mud Hens will be looking for a new radio home next year. It's been learned that Cumulus Media's 1470 AM The Ticket will not carry the Mud Hens next season but will instead carry the Detroit Tigers full time. A Cumulus source told me, “We will not be renewing our current relationship for 2008. It has been a terrific 8-year run that saw the Hens go from Maumee to Downtown Toledo and experience an incredible increase in attendance.

The only thing less exciting than watching baseball is listening to someone describe it. That and watching soccer.

With a nephew currently in New Mexico playing in the Connie Mac World Series and a niece who travels in a soccer league I must disagree.
I think someone will pick up their games. They are too much of a force to be reckoned with to be overlooked anymore. I remember sitting with a family from Detroit at a game who didn't care who won. They just wanted to see a good ball game and were sick of paying Tiger prices. They came to Toledo just for that.
WOW! That's surprising. While I hate that I can't get the Tigers regularly on the radio (since it dumped WJR), from a local perspective, I'd also like to see 1470 stick with the Mud Hens.
Maybe WSPD will pick them up? Or, likely WCWA.
