TEAM MEDIA NEWS: MARLINS/SUNSHINE NET RESOLVE DISPUTE

          In an attempt to resolve an ongoing dispute, the
     Sunshine Network, which said it would not use Marlins
     announcers Joe Angel, Dave O'Brien and Tommy Hutton, has
     "reversed its position" and in exchange, the Marlins will
     allow Sunshine to spread its broadcasts over the entire '97
     season, and allow Sunshine to reschedule games that conflict
     with the Heat, Magic or Lightning playoff games that
     Sunshine "is obligated to carry" (MIAMI HERALD, 2/11).
     ...MSG, which will pay the Yankees $4.5M annually over five
     years for radio rights, has made a "tentative deal" to buy
     time on WABC-AM to carry the 162 games (N.Y. TIMES, 2/11).
     ...In Toronto, William Houston notes Blue Jays President
     Paul Beeston said that TSN has "decided against" buying
     rights to all of the Blue Jays games over the next five
     years.  "Insiders" tell Houston that the five-year, C$110M
     deal was "simply too rich" for TSN and "too much of a risk"
     as ad execs "aren't convinced" that ad revenue will support
     the Blue Jays' asking price (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 2/11).
