The Owner's Box After Dark, Ep. 46.

Ray Martel is the executive producer of Mets baseball on WCBS Radio in New York.

Ray Martel, originally of Pawtucket and a Bishop Feehan alum, is the man in charge of New York Mets radio broadcasts on WCBS (880 AM) in New York City. He's ideally positioned to be able to answer questions that I have about how the pandemic has affected how pro sports get on the air, and whether some of the cost-saving measures currently place might persist even after COVID-19 is nothing but a bad memory.

I recently spoke to Ray to get his insights into what it takes to get Major League Baseball to you in the midst of a pandemic, and it was an entertaining and informative conversation. What we have in this episode of After Dark is about five-eighths of the full interview, which can be heard in its entirety in Episode 36 of The Owner's Box, my original audio podcast. These are good highlights, and thus we could bring this interview to you in under an hour's time.

Enjoy!
