Competition has been good. WCCO did a decent job with the Twins, but KSTP has improved the product. I especially like their Sunday postgame show. CCO had an attrocious product when they did the Viking games - not nearly the caliber that an NFL team deserves. You can say what you want about Paul Allen, but the overall package KFAN has for the Viking broadcasts is very impressive. And as far as Gopher Football is concerned, how can you do more poorly than WCCO did? Dave Lee? Really? Dave Mona? How many times did they try to squeeze in just one more commercial and rejoined the game in progress, having missed 1 to 3 plays? Is that any way to treat major college football?
The Neighbor had gotten complacent over the years. I hope that, if they get the Twins back, they take it a bit more seriously this time. I don't have confidence in them.
