NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees are moving their radio broadcasts to WCBS-AM after 21 years on WABC. The Yankees' YES Network, created earlier this year, announced an agreement Thursday with Infinity Broadcasting that places radiocasts on WCBS-AM for five years. The deal is worth about $48.75 million, according to a source familiar with the negotiations who spoke on the condition of anonymity, and gives YES the option to renew it for five additional years. Spanish language broadcasts also will be handled by Infinity, with an outlet to be announced. The agreement with the 26-time World Series champions starts with spring training and will include all regular-season and postseason games. The YES Network previously announced an agreement with WCBS-TV for the television broadcast of 20 regular-season games. Other games, except those televised nationally by FOX or ESPN, will be shown on YES, a regional sports network that will launch in March. Infinity will pay the Yankees $9 million for radio rights next year -- more than Cincinnati, Minnesota, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Montreal received for television and radio rights combined in 2001. The Yankees will receive about $52 million from YES for their television rights, bringing their total broadcast income next year to approximately $61 million, well above the $56.75 million they received this year from ABC and the Madison Square Garden Network. Last year, the Reds had total broadcast rights payments of $7.86 million, Minnesota $7.27 million, Kansas City $6.5 million, Milwaukee $5.9 million and Montreal $536,000. Infinity's payment to YES for the Yankees' radio rights increases 4 percent annually, to $9.36 million in 2003, $9.73 million in 2004, $10.12 million in 2005 and $10.53 million in 2006.  | ||||
