MLB Media Notes: Dodgers Game To Be Televised In Spanish, English

Sunday's Dodgers Game To Be Televised In Both English And Spanish

SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT: In San Diego, Bill Center reports the Padres are "trying to reconnect their television link to Mexico" after Cox Communications Thursday stopped providing Mexican cable network Cablemas "with content, including Channel 4 San Diego." Channel 4 San Diego VP & GM Craig Nichols noted that Cox' contract with Cablemas "expired in June, but Cox continued to provide content, including the Padres games, for the past six weeks while negotiating a new contract." Nichols noted that the net is "working with the Padres, looking for alternate distribution." Padres President & COO Tom Garfinkel said that options "could include a link to an over-the-air station in Mexico" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 8/21).

WANTING A MOVE: In St. Louis, Dan Caesar notes respondents to a report about the MLB Cardinals possibly leaving KTRS-AM "overwhelmingly have voiced one opinion: Move the radio broadcasts back" to KMOX-AM. Of the 4,000 respondents to a poll on stltoday.com, 78% "want the broadcasts back on KMOX, where they were for nearly five decades before the team bought a 50[%] interest in KTRS and moved the radio coverage there" beginning with the '06 MLB season (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 8/21).
