This is going to be polarizing just like the ROOT sports decision. Although the TV decision should have been easier there are a few local sports radio stations to go with. KJR has been the one to really push hockey in their content. ESPN 710 is still really only talking Seahawks. KJR needs content since they just have the Sounders & UW Football & Basketball

Local Radio coverage:
NFL Seahawks - 710 ESPN (sports talk) & 97.3 KIRO (news) simulcast
MLB Mariners - 710 ESPN
MLS Sounders - 950 KJR (sports talk)
NCAA UW Football & Mens BB - 950 KJR

Regarding the TV decision even if they went the streamer route, They still needs the streaming services to actually carry the network. Sling just dropped NBC regional RSNs starting next month. So people who uses sling would had to find something else. Streaming is just as easily vulnerable to provider network disputes over money as it is with tv providers and the networks. Its not a simple cut and dry decision.

Don’t really care what station they are on as long as the games are broadcast.

Not really interested in sports radio talk as it has devolved into the political talk level of radio with hosts only goal/agenda is to be contrarian clowns to rile up the masses to get tweets and callers.
