Title: Streaming radio for today?
Post by: LON on March 20, 2009, 08:48:03 AM
I checked espnmilwaukee.com and it looks like you can't get the MU feed through them.

Wondering if anyone knows where to go to stream the radio broadcast?  I am going to be caught at work and will need to catch most of the 1st half here.  Thanks.

Huh.  So if I'm reading that correctly, 540AM/Homer will have the game, but espnmilwaukee.com will not stream it?

That's unacceptable.  This is the USA!

Lifted from espnmilwaukee.com:
Your exclusive home for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is 540 ESPN. Listen to every minute of March Madness continuing Friday, only on 540 ESPN.

According to our agreement, we will not be able to stream the games at espnmilwaukee.com. During the tournament, espnmilwaukee.com will stream ESPN Radio with the latest updates from the tournament and the rest of the sports world.

Yes, completely unacceptable.  Radios in our building don't work since the AM signal is too low to get through...

Every game is being streamed on CBSSports.com.

If I have the radio broadcast I can just shove in an ear bud and go on working, I can easily get around the "no stream" policy at work with audio only...

I may just be SOL

Lance -- Could you stream the video from cbs.com, then minimize it and bring up "real work" on your screen, while still listening to audio through your ear buds?  I have had to employ this method upon occasion.

I honestly don't get why opening rounds of NCAA are not national holidays.

I'm thinking I'll be employing your technique...

I'm an auditor, and it's busy season...we don't get vacation from January to April - Every year at this time it seems I reevaluate my career decision...

For what it's worth, espnmilwaukee.com is streaming Homer & Mac's broadcast of the game, but they have commercials that are bizarrely cutting in and out of the game and other commercials.  They've probably missed 25+% of the game so far.
