OK, yet another evidence that the traditional media, even radio, doesn’t take mobile media or social media seriously. Here it comes.

I spent ten bucks for MLB Gameday Live on my iPhone.  Every game, every radio broadcast, plus the gameday diagrams, video highlights, and consolidated video replays.  Awesome.  In fact, the best value on the App Store if you ask me.

Only one problem: the local broadcaster of the Cleveland Indians, WTAM 1100 AM, which refers to itself with the catchphrase “the Big One”, hasn’t had a working stream of its broadcasts for over a week.  So when there’s a day game, like today, I am forced to listen to the opposing team’s broadcast team.

I could understand if I missed a portion of a broadcast due to technical problems at WTAM, but come on, the thing’s been down for over a WEEK.  What’s worse, the excellent iHeartRadio app for iPhone, which also carries the ClearChannel affiliate WTAM, has been absent the live stream for a over a week, too.  I couldn’t even listen to their web-browser stream yesterday when I tried.

So I’m listening to the Minnesota Twins crummy announcer instead of Tom Hamilton, the Indians’ announcer.

Come on WTAM, fix this. And keep it fixed.
