You're assuming that listeners are loyal to a local team. Much of the
draw of the MLB streams, and the premium sports packages on cable TV is
that you can follow out of market teams.
And even if the team is local, these broadcasts are usually over long
distance AM radio where reception can be sketchy, and fidelity is
always always low. It's very frustrating to have a station fade out on
you right at a key point in the action.
I don't think I'm much interested in time-shifting for baseball coverage
either. Part of the magic is the live aspect of the coverage.
I agree that computer based, audio Tivo package would be fantastic. But
for my money it would need to handle both internet streams as well as
locally tuned over the air broadcasts.
Audio Tivo and MLB Audio via SqueezeNetwork are two very different
things. And for me, they don't really compete. There are applications
out there that do the audio Tivo thing, but that's another thread.
