If there's one advantage to group ownership [[and it's the only one I can think of) of radio stations, it's that they have the ability to move a game from one station to another. The fact that you didn't have an AM radio with you is your problem. CBS fulfilled their contract with the Tigers by making the game available locally on a "common" broadcast band. If they'd shoved the game to a HD sideband, then I'd be upset.....as would the Tigers.

Moving games is a fairly common practice. In '96, we got called by a competing station in our market asking if we'd broadcast the opening 2 games of the Mariner's season that year because they had a conflict with the Sonics. The M's OKed the move, we made some money off the deal, the listeners got the games and everyone was happy.
