“We hope we have another storybook ending to deliver this
season,” says Scheld, whose station has broadcast Yankees play-by-play since
2002. “We have nothing but great memories of our time carrying the team. They
are a class operation.”
Come next season, however, it’s a new ballgame for WCBS-AM,
because the Yankees are moving to sister station WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM.
Scheld looks forward to it.
“Baseball is our pastime but news is our passion,” he says —
and the way it’s been for the last dozen years, news goes off when the Yankees
take the field, which is 190-200 times a year.
This becomes more noticeable on a night like this past
Tuesday, when the Yankees were playing the Orioles while the city was counting
mayoral primary ballots.
Those kinds of conflicts, says Scheld, are one reason
WCBS-AM became a pioneer in online news streaming, so people who aren’t
baseball fans could keep getting WCBS-AM news during games.
