This is a bad take
"Radio" PxP in '26 & beyond is much more. Your favorite team's broadcast is on AM or FM, but it's also on 1 or more of: station app/team app/league app (+CarPlay/Android Auto), SiriusXM & more.
Car/home/workout/walk, et al...We are where you are. Global reach
@DavidPSamson says MLB no longer needs radio: "We don't need baseball on radio anymore." The former Marlins president predicts on Nothing Personal that "radio will go the way of Kodak and Blockbuster." @JohnMamola has more. #MLB

With all due respect @DavidPSamson, the ability to have a broadcast that’s friendly for those in vehicles is always going to be important. The amount of detail needed to paint the picture on audio is an art form unto itself. Anyone that thinks otherwise isn’t interested in what’s best for the fan. Just the bottom line

Rest in Peace, Mr. Chuvalo. You were an inspiration to many, both in and out of the ring.
Great chatting w/ 2 heavyweights at the @Raptors game. The great George Chuvalo & former world champ @LennoxLewis.

The small town of Gander in the Canadian province of Newfoundland saw its population virtually double when U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, grounding 38 international flights on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.
For five days, Newfoundlanders gave shelter and comfort to 7,000 stranded passengers and crew members. @conorknighton talks with Newfoundlanders who volunteered during the emergency, whose generosity to the "plane people" inspired the Broadway musical @wecomefromaway.

I read about a 16-year-old in my community who committed suicide.
I didn't know the young man. But my heart goes out to his family/friends.
Just yesterday my son (17) shared this video; a great reminder for all of us (especially in this ever-degrading space).
Be good. Do good.
