It’s just about hockey playoff time, also known as the juggling act in the St. Louis sports play-by-play broadcast business.
The Cardinals’ season is in its infancy at the same time the Blues head into their most dramatic stretch. And because both teams’ games are carried by the same radio and television outlets, that leads to a lot of shuffling when both play simultaneously. That figures to be the case at least a few times again this spring, once the Blues’ playoff schedule is announced Sunday night or Monday.
In a nutshell, baseball is the priority on radio (KMOX, 1120 AM), while hockey takes top billing on television (Fox Sports Midwest).
