[edit] Failed GA

While the prose is ok, I have some other issues, especially about the sources and rather lack of info.

  1. The article seems short, especially on something that could easily be expanded with use of books or magazines, and even the web, very little info, every decade has only a sentence. Who got the idea for broadcasting baseball on radio?, It's not comprensive.
  2. Some of the sources aren't strongly reliable and others I don't see the point, like source number #8 for example is a blog, #11, #21, and #23 are forums, and those are no-no's, I don't get the point of source #24, and others seems like overuse of sources. They should be in Template:Cite web format.
  3. The only image is the article has no tag on it, a good fair use claim can be used though.
