Any MLB teams air some games on one flagship and the rest on another?

The Phila. Phillies air Friday games on 610 WIP and the rest on 1210 WPHT.

Any other teams split their schedule between two or more flagships?

The Arizona Diamondbacks, normally on KTAR 620, are moved to sister-station KMVP 860 when there is a Phoenix Suns or Arizona State football conflict.  From what I understand, the D'backs have contractural priority over the NFL Cardinals, so football will air on 860 and baseball on 620 when they're playing at the same time.  The Cards are in the first year of their deal with the Bonneville-owned stations.

The Chicago White Sox got moved from ESPN 1000 to WZZN 94.7 when the Bulls were playing.  With the Sox moving to WSCR 670 next season, there will still be a conflict since the Black Hawks are also on The Score.  I'd expect to hear a lot of Sox or Hawks games on either WBBM 780 or another Infinity station (WCKG 105.9 maybe?) if hockey ever starts up again.

Any station that carries another sport along with MLB will have this problem.

... that WPHT dumps off the Phils to WIP on Fridays to air Sid Mark's "Friday with Frank" (as in Sinatra).

Then, of course, there's the "Z104/WFED Washington Nationals Radio Network", which airs no daytime weekday games on Z104 (104.1/103.9).  WFED/1050 airs all games day and night, but at night, you can barely pick up WFED in most of the market.

The Braves had a problem like that when they were on WSB-AM. University of Georgia sports took priority on WSB, so if the Braves conflicted with UGA, the Braves games were moved to WSB-FM. The Hawks were moved first to WFOX (when it was Fox 97) and later were moved to WALR-FM (Kiss 104.1).

The Braves now have two flagship stations: WGST and WKLS (96 Rock).
