I was skeptical of SLC as a baseball city so I looked up where it sits in the ranking of TV markets.
OT1H there are an awful lot of cities above SLC, not even counting Canadian options, and IDK how you call anybody more of a turnkey operation than Sacramento given the A's currently play there.
But OTOH I'm
shocked at how low Vegas is (I guess Vegas' hinterlands are just completely empty). And if they can do it then so can anybody, so this is clearly not an impediment.
