On the heels of three positive marketing articles featuring Arena Football, the Chicago Rush are moving forward with a solid radio deal with local AM station WSCR:

Radio broadcasts of Chicago Rush Arena Football games are moving to WSCR 670-AM for the next two seasons, the Rush announced Tuesday.

The move brings the Rush back to its original radio home after WCKG 105.9-FM, the team's broadcast outlet for the last three seasons, underwent a format change late last year.

As part of the deal, (Tom) Dore will return for his eighth year as the voice of the Rush. He again will be joined by former Bears offensive lineman James "Big Cat" Williams, who will begin his fourth season as the team's analyst.

Good news for the folks in the WSCR listening area. Arena Football is certainly not the same on radio, but it is better than not getting to hear the action live.

Three articles caught my eye today, all focusing on positive developments for the business side of Arena Football. The first confirmed that Mitsubishi has extended advertising programs targeted to Arena Football:

"We are focusing on brand awareness and familiarity and we've had great success with the sports programs that we do," said Mendez. "We have re-upped with the Arena Football League, we are doing NCAA, NBA, and we like the exclusivity we get when we do ESPN."

The next story is an annoucement of strong agreement between ESPN and MobiTV to broadcast AFL games:

ESPN Mobile TV will offer full-length live events including college football and basketball, NBA, NASCAR, Major League Soccer, Arena Football League, Major League Lacrosse and more. It will also present Mike & Mike in the Morning, First Take, Pardon the Interruption, Rome is Burning and Around the Horn, plus new mobile-specific shows such as ESPN ReSet, ScoreCenter and Fantasy Football Now.

It is great to see this support for broadcasting AFL games through this new medium.
