Mo Valley league eyes Cardinals broadcasting rights
League officials consider tapping the St. Louis Cardinals for money to broadcast Cardinal games in Mo Valley territory. A pre-season meeting at Mt Vernon discussed the off the record approach while noting a major minor league agreement requires permission from minor clubs. Dutch Hoffman estimates up to 250000 could come from a brewery with exclusive Cardinal rights. The league could block broadcasts quickly if needed but aims to avoid alienating local fans.
