Twins Radio

Last week I talked a lot about how much I dislike talk radio. Some of you left comments agreeing with me, and others listed some of the radio shows they liked to listen to. I figured this week would be a good week to talk about a form of talk radio that I actually do enjoy and completely forgot about… Twins Radio.

My family and I are huge Minnesota Twins fans. Whenever I get the chance I am watching a game on television, getting stats online (usually during class around noon or one o’clock), or listening to the game on the radio in the car. Considering they have their own radio network, it is very easy to find the game on the radio in the car.

The Minnesota Twins, in conjunction with the Minnesota News Network, announced that the Twins Radio Network has grown to include nearly 70 stations that will broadcast throughout Twins Territory. Historically, the Twins Radio Network has been one of the largest in all of Major League Baseball with hometown radio partners bringing Twins baseball to fans across five states, and the network continues to grow. In 2007, the Twins assumed control and development of the Twins Radio Network. Not bad for the upper Midwest!

There is a link to listen to Twins Radio on the Minnesota Twins website. The radio stations for Twins Radio provide listeners with pre-game shows, play-by-play action during the game, and then the post game show. Some of the specialty shows on the stations include “Talkin’ Twins” with Matt Thomas, and “The Ron Gardenhire Show” with Ron himself. Along with regular season games, a lot of the stations also have spring training coverage as well.

So, I guess I spoke to soon; there IS a form of talk radio that I enjoy. If you are around the Fargo/Moorhead area like me, and enjoy listening to the Twins games, you can turn on KFGO Fargo, 790 on am radio. Enjoy!
