=== Major League Baseball === {{more citations needed section|date=May 2019}} {{see also|Major League Baseball on CBS Radio}} CBS Radio was the largest broadcaster of local [[Major League Baseball]] broadcasts. In 2005 and 2007 respectively, CBS dropped the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] from KMOX and the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] from KDKA, ending two long relationships between the teams and their flagship stations. However, KMOX reacquired the Cardinals' broadcast rights in 2011, and KDKA's [[KDKA-FM|FM sister all-sports station]] acquired the Pirates' broadcast rights in 2012, in addition to [[New York Yankees]] games being renewed on WCBS after the conclusion of the 2011 season, they would have the rights until the end of the 2013 season. CBS's [[WFAN (AM)|WFAN]] is the flagship station of the [[New York Yankees]] (they had broadcast the [[Mets]] until 2014) and [[WSCR]] is the flagship station of the [[Chicago Cubs]]. In Philadelphia, [[WPHT]], a frequency that had been the longtime home of the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] before parting ways after the 2001 season, reacquired the team's broadcast rights in 2005. As of 2012, those games are now simulcast on sister station [[WIP-FM]]. [[KRLD-FM]] in Dallas was the flagship station for the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]] before the 2011 season. In 2015, the [[Chicago Cubs]] moved its radio broadcasts to CBS property [[WBBM (AM)]] from its longtime home of [[WGN (AM)]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Levine|first1=Bruce|title=Levine: CBS Radio Gains Cubs Broadcasting Rights|url=http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/06/04/cbs-radio-gains-cubs-broadcasting-rights/|website=chicago.cbslocal.com|date=June 4, 2014 |publisher=CBS Chicago|access-date=June 5, 2014}}</ref> That same year, the [[Baltimore Orioles]] began its second stint on all-sports [[WJZ-FM]], four years after it was moved back to its traditional home of [[WBAL (AM)]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/01/13/orioles-return-to-cbs-radio/|title=Orioles Return to CBS Radio|last1=Viviano|first1=Mark|website=CBS Baltimore|date=January 13, 2015 |access-date=February 10, 2015}}</ref> In 2016, the Cubs rights moved to sister station WSCR as part of a pre-arrangement in the 2015 agreement where WSCR would take over airing games after letting the rights to the [[Chicago White Sox]] go after the 2015 season (which now broadcast on [[WGN (AM)]]).
