List of Nashville Sounds broadcasters

 * Nominator(s): NatureBoyMD (talk) 14:48, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

In addition to meeting the criteria, this is the next-to-last team-related article before a push towards a Featured Topic. NatureBoyMD (talk) 14:48, 18 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:24, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Comments
 * A couple of questions, at least one of which may be down to my unfamiliarity with how US sports coverage works


 * The text concentrates (understandably) on the radio announcers, but also mentions that some games were televised. Were the listed announcers also used for the TV coverage?  As far as I can see that isn't made explicitly clear.
 * I've added text explaining that the radio announcers provided commentary for TV games except in the 1979 season. I've not added the TV announcer to the table. I'm wondering if I should create a separate table for TV announcers & stations or try to sandwich his name into the existing table. ? NatureBoyMD (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest just making it a footnote, TBH -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:23, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I've added a footnote beside the station in the table. NatureBoyMD (talk) 16:12, 20 May 2019 (UTC)


 * By the sound of things the announcers are employed by the club, rather than by a radio station, which is the opposite of what I am used to here in the UK but presumably explains why the coverage was able to jump from station to station but retain the same announcer. But why does the coverage change stations?  Might it be worth a sentence or two saying something like "Sounds games have been broadcast on 13 radio stations in the club's history, changing because [whatever the reason is - contract re-negotiations.....?]"
 * Correct, the team has a contract with an announcer to call the games and a separate contact with a station to air the broadcast. (Though, the 1978 announcer owned the station.) I've added prose regarding why the first station was selected, why they switched in the second year, and reasons for subsequent station changes. NatureBoyMD (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Other than that I haven't spotted anything..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:39, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
