100.7 FM/1340 AM in Shreveport possibly airing Tech BB C-USA/NCAA Reg. Tourney Games
Facebook message from Ben Mintz (100.7 FM/1340 AM The Ticket in Shreveport/Bossier City) to the Northwest Louisiana Tech Advancement Group earlier today:
"I am currently working behind the scenes to get the LA Tech Conference USA and possible NCAA tournament baseball games broadcast live on 100.7 FM/1340 AM The Ticket in Shreveport/Bossier starting next week. Leerfield will give us the games but I have to fund it by selling commercials. If any of you are interested in helping me get LA Tech postseason baseball on the radio locally please give me a call at 504-432-1922 or email Benmintz531@yahoo.com. I am also gauging interest for the NCAA Tournament softball games as well. Tech plays #2 Minnesota at 1:30 Friday in Tuscaloosa. Thanks for reading this and time is an issue."

Fantastic that people are taking the intiative -- sad that they have to.

This lack of baseball broadcast situation arose last year when games werent being broadcast and a lot of finger pointing as to who was responsible. Looks like there has been no change, Learfield owns the rights to the games but see no profit therefore has offered to let interested stations carry the games free but they have to sell their own ads to cover the cost. Hopefully there is enough expanded interest whereby the ads will sell, if not maybe a deep pockets guy will step up and pay the tab himself.

Learfied did a horrible job of selling ads for the regular season games. They only had like 3 paying sponsors along with a couple more "in kind" sponsors like TNS. They see no profit because they don't sell. Been that way from the first day they walked on campus.

Here's the email I received

We confirmed with Leerfield yesterday that we will be airing the LA Tech CUSA and NCAA (hopefully) baseball tournament games on The Ticket 100.7 FM/1340 AM. I went through our local inventory for commercials and here is what we have available for CUSA Tourney games:
4 Company Packages ($120 a game)
Each company would get 6 commercials total per game ($20 a spot). I believe 5 of them are during inning breaks and 1 is post game. I can do the voiceovers for the commercials but ya'll are free to write the commercials and come in here to tape them with me if you would like. There obviously will be at least 2 CUSA Tourney games and hopefully a few more as I think the Diamond Dawgs have a great chance at the title.
Please email me back if interested.

There is plenty of money out there for baseball and probably softball - but you have to work to get it...

Please share the sponsors Ben was able to gather.
