This is as huge of a deal as landing the top FA.

The other problem is the station's own doing. The audio quality it bad, really bad. It's tinny and harsh. The difference is obvious if you're listening in the car and switch between WMVP and almost any other AM station. Audio-processing choices are separate from the radio signal, which is a set by the terms of the license. I don't understand why they choose to make it sound that way. If the audio is clean, it's easier to cut through the signal limitations. WLS did that through the 60s and 70s when they were the hot music station in town -- their signal was actually worse than the other big AMs but they processed the audio so that it cut through and sounded punchier.
Maybe WMVP is trying to drive listeners to the new HD channel or to the MLB app. In the meantime, if you're trying to listen west of Downers Grove you can hear the games on WBIG 1280 in Aurora. It's a small station but has *much* cleaner audio.- tebman
