When the LMA began between the New York Times Company and Disney, they did run some sports on WQEW for a short time. I believe that was brokered programming and they had to run out the contract with whatever team was buying the time.
Many times in New York, sports teams have to be shared with other stations not necessarily the ones where they are usually heard. This comes from a non sports fan. I am not a fan of Radio Disney. I was dialing around a few years ago and did hear sports on 1560 so I assumed that was left over as far as contractual commitments from the days before the format change.
