MW Loggings / 2018 Major League Baseball 50,000 watt broadcasters

« on: February 17, 2018, 1357 UTC »

To my knowledge and research, these are the 2018 50,000 watt Class A stations carrying major league baseball in English this year.  There are other 50,000 watt stations but they are class B stations.  Please free feel to add and/or correct.  All are flagships unless noted.  Affiliates may carry alternative programming at times (Montreal Hockey/Soccer, UConn Football/Basketball).  The White Sox switched stations, the Twins moved to a Class A station...so we are +1 for the year.
