Miami Heat changes radio stationsCourtesy
the Miami Herald
(November 8, 2010) As expected, the Heat announced Saturday morning that it is changing radio flagship stations from WINZ-940 to 790 The Ticket, beginning with Saturday's game against New Jersey.
Last month, the Heat filed a lawsuit against WINZ's parent company, Clear Channel Communications, claiming Clear Channel gave a better contract to the Dolphins than it did to the Heat, whose contract stipulated that it would be extended the opportunity to receive anything given to another team by WINZ. The Dolphins, for example, were given a two-hour weekday talk show on WINZ; the Heat was not. Besides filing the lawsuit, the Heat exercised a 30-day termination clause in its WINZ contract. Those 30 days ended Friday night, allowing the Heat to change stations this weekend. Mike Inglis and John Crotty will remain the Heat's radio announcers. The shifting of the Heat leaves 790 with the Heat and Marlins (plus FIU football, whose game will move Saturday to 1080-AM, according to 790); WINZ with the Dolphins; and WQAM with University of Miami sports and the Florida Panthers. WINZ management said Friday that it wanted to keep the Heat games. But after filing the lawsuit, the Heat had no interest in a reconciliation. Read more at
