WQAM KEEPS GAMES
WQAM-560 announced it has signed a multiyear deal to retain UM radio rights, but with a twist: Baseball games no longer will be broadcast by the station beginning in 2018.
Asked if UM plans to find another station to carry baseball beyond campus station WVUM-90.5 FM, athletic director Blake James said: “We will continue to evaluate what is best for our program. I believe we will have all of our games broadcast on ESPN3 again this year and will continue to make decisions that best position our program.”
According to a source, WQAM believed there wasn’t enough of an audience for baseball to continue airing the games after this season.

Interesting that he'd be openly negative. Would think UM brass had some say in it at least.
