When can we get the Hawks on FM in Atlanta?

Why is this such a problem? The Braves and Falcons are now entrenched on FM. With last year's success, I would like to see a station take the lead on this.
Our current broadcasts are just bad and the Hawks only get brief mentions during the season.

I would like for the Hawks to just come out and announce a deal that just gives us more options than any other team in this city. The ASG should jump on this opportunity.

A couple of player minutes each week woudn't hurt either.

And if you didn't catch on, 790thezone just cannot deliver on the marketing of this team.

I don't think the Hawks get radio ratings anywhere close to good enough for an FM station to pick them up. A station would have to want the Hawks- its not like the Hawks can just decide to broadcast on a big FM signal

I understand someone would have to want the rights, but you gotta see how limited the fan base is when you have a station that is limited in frequency.
Simply put, like anything else, you have to promote yourself to draw interest and the Hawks just haven't been able to get any momentum in the right direction.
Perhaps an iPhone/Blackberry package would be a better option. Anything to be able to get their game outside of the perimeter.

yes, but i was thinking more of where you didn't have to be stationed in front of a laptop.
