The Yankees Extend Contract With CBS

The New York baseball Yankees have extended their contract with WCBS 880-AM to broadcast their games through the 2012 season, meaning that the announcers John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman will most likely come back in their same roles. ?It is anticipated that radio announcers John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman will each return to the radio booth,? the Yankees said in an e-mail Friday.
