The Indians' attendance is still among the worst in Major League Baseball.
Only Miami's 17,337 per game is worse than the Tribe's 17,895.
Even though there might be a lack of bodies in the seats, don't confuse that with lack of interest.
The Indians' average rating so far this season on Fox Sports' SportsTime Ohio is up 34 percent compared to last season's average rating, according to a spokesperson.
Browns' opening
Browns vice president of media relations, Neal Gulkis, has been relieved of his duties. It's been a tumultuous season for the Browns with the ownership change and the Pilot Flying J scandal, and Gulkis was caught in the wringer.
Ravens director of public relations Chad Steele is said to have interviewed for the position.
Browns expand network
Five stations in three Ohio markets will be joining the Browns' radio network. The affiliates are from the Rubber City Radio Group in Akron 1590-AM WAKR and WONE-FM 97.5, the Cumulus Broadcasting Network in Youngstown (WYFM-FM 103) and WBBW-AM 1240, as well as in Canton (WHBC-AM 1480).
"It is important that Browns fans in Akron, Canton and Youngstown are able to follow our team with the extensive programming that we will be offering," Browns president Alec Scheiner said in a prepared statement. "Both the Rubber City Radio Group and the Cumulus Broadcasting Network are the radio leaders in their respective regions. WHBC has a long and dedicated following in Canton and many people in that area have relied on them as their source of news for decades." Continued...
