MW Loggings / Baseball team RETURNING to 50k watt clear channel station

Well, the Twins are returning from whence they started on the radio - upper midwest flame thrower WCCO 830 am, I know when I lived just west
of the Hudson River, I could receive it.  I may try tonight knowing the Twins will be there in 5 months.  I find this statement a positive one: But the move in-house, seen as a way to profit from ad revenue rather than rights fees.  Garnering more revenue from ads over fees means that the Twins believe there is a growing market for Radio and/or the Twins themselves are more attractive.  I find this refreshing in the wake of teams moving to small AM or FM station.  Up until recently, for twenty-plus years the Twins AA team was located a couple of dozen miles away from me.  I saw the very good 90's squads as well as the group Paul Molitor managed this year as minor leaguers.
