Bill Doyle, Telegram & Gazette - Tornadoes making radio waves locally



WORCESTER— Winning the Can-Am League championship last summer helped the Worcester Tornadoes attract a network of at least five radio stations this season.

“We think it’s unprecedented in independent league baseball,” Alan Stone, Tornadoes president and CEO, said yesterday.

The team plans to formally announce the radio deal during a press conference at 2 p.m. today at the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce.


Stone said WTAG (580 AM) would fit in up to 27 Tornadoes games around its Boston Red Sox schedule. Four other stations, Clark University’s WCUW (91.3 FM), WBNW (1120 AM) in Concord-Framingham, WGAW (1340 AM) in Gardner, and WESO (970 AM) in Southbridge, will carry all 92 of the Tornadoes’ regular-season games.

Haha...I thought you meant actual tornados...Which I thought was silly...

Same here...

Here's a preview of what you'll hear tonight, on TORNADOS:

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WHHHIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh my god! My trailer!!!!!!!!!!!


Seriously, though, this is cool. I wonder if channel 3 will hop on board next?

Did the IceCats ever even have a radio affiliate?

Anything that makes anything more successful in Worcester, I'm all for. People wonder why I have a defeatist attitude...I grew up 10 minutes from Worcester. What other kind of attitude could I have? So if this radio deal generates a little extra interest in the team, fantastic.

thats so awesome, that means i can catch some good nados games when im driving around working.

Here's your inside scoop from a member of the Tornadoes Front office.....

Channel 3 broadcasted a handful of games last year and they will be doing so again for 2006....
