This post aims to serve as the resource guide for everyone who wants to listen to free online radio (or regular broadcast radio) coverage of independent professional baseball teams for the 2009 season. Each independent professional baseball team (across all 8 leagues) is listed.
If the team you want has online radio coverage then you will be able to click the hyperlink (opens in a new window) which goes directly to the website with the team’s coverage. We cannot guarantee that archives of previous games will be available on the page you visit. If a team does not have online radio then you can go to a search engine to look for any AM/FM station’s broadcast coverage listed next to the team. An “x” indicates that no AM/FM radio was readily posted on the team’s website. You may contact the individual team for further information.
Should you know of independent baseball archived broadcasts/online radio coverage, especially of former independent baseball teams, then please leave a comment with the specific URL(s) or send the URL(s) to the contact information found at the new Independent Baseball Alumni website.
Please send any corrections, additions, or deletions to the same contact information (as requested above) if you notice anything inaccurate in the list of teams. Note that this blog post is a best-efforts attempt, but no guarantee is made to the accuracy and/or the quality of any game coverage. Some teams may charge to listen to broadcasts. Neither this blog nor its parent website receives any compensation from any team, website, or entity should you choose to pay to listen to a particular game.
