CT Defenders

With the announcement the Defenders are officialy relocating to Virginia, are any stations really affected?  Does anyone know a complete listing of the stations that were carrying the games?

Wasn't WICH-AM 1310 of Norwich the only one?

I recall at one time WLIS 1420 AM in Old Saybrook carried their games with occasional games on their sister station, WMRD 1150 AM in Middletown.

WMRD-AM 1150 actually carried the New Britain Rocks Cats this season, along side of WTIC-FM 96.5 HD2.

Should've stuck with Norwich Navigators.   The alligator with the periscope was a brilliant logo.

The team formerly known as the Connecticut Defenders are now the Richmond Flying Squirrels.  New logo will be unveiled December 1st.  Don't take my word for it.  Check out the link for yourself.  GO NUTS!

Good news: Baseball is coming back to Norwich! (Albeit a team from the lower rungs of minor league baseball, but it's baseball, nonetheless.)

The Oneonta Tigers will start playing at Dodd Stadium this year. They are run by, as you would guess, the Detroit Tigers.

The alligator was a great logo.  To be fair, the Norwich Navigators were affiliated with the New York Yankees.  The CT Defenders were an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.

From a practical standpoint, how in the heck is Richmond going to support the "Flying Squirrels" when they already have a very well-established (AAA) Minor League team known as the Richmond Braves?   You can't tell me that there wasn't a better place to move this team.  It won't last.
