Default How do I listen to Yankees on Sonos?

I just Bought Sonos yesterday. I would like to listen to the NY Yankee games. They are on wcbs 880 in NY, But that station is not in the sonos player. How do i add the channel? Does anyone know the streaming URL for 880 wcbs or any other station that plays the yankees?

Also note that internet streaming for sports is a hit or miss proposition. SiriusXM currently has the streaming contract for MLB, and depending your local station's contracts, they may not be able to stream the live feed.

Link Above Worked perfectly. Got the Yankee Game in the back yard. Sonos rocks

For those in the United States that want the Yankees here is the steaming URL
for their NY station WCBS 880

Manually Enter it in Sonos by following these directions. It will be added to your Favorites.

I get the Yankees on Sirus channel 858. On the controller, I go to SiriusXM, then MLB Play By Play, then down to 858.

Default Stream URL does not have the game

The URL that has been posted is not the stream of the station when a game is on. It is the stream that is available when the Yankees are on air. Does anyone have a new URL that includes the actual game?

Major League Baseball prohibits internet streaming of the games by their local broadcast partners. It's possible WCBS detects local in-market listeners and feeds the over-the-air stream to those users, but they aren't allowed to send it out of Metro New York, so a substitute stream is provided.

SiriusXM has all the games, everywhere in the USA.

Best three bucks a month I've spent in a long time. Having those games on in the backyard while doing stuff out there has been fantastic this season.
